Baltic Industrial Group has completed the first anode cages for the foundations of the offshore wind farm offshore wind farm Baltica 2. Baltica 2. These are cathodic protection cages and mooring platforms for service vessels, critical elements to ensure the durability and operability of the offshore bases against corrosion. corrosion.
Anode cages and offshore operating support
Manufacturing at GPB’s Gdansk facility represents a significant advance in the offshore wind supply chain. offshore wind energy offshore wind energy supply chain. The contract calls for the delivery of 111 steel cages and an equal number of access platforms, of which four will be destined for offshore substations and 107 for wind turbine foundations.
These auxiliary structures allow safe access to the foundations, house safety and firefighting equipment and form an integral part of the support system for the main components of the wind farm. Their anti-corrosion function is essential for the longevity of the offshore infrastructure.
Supervised production with focus on safety and quality
The manufacturing process includes welding, steel cutting, machining and work at heights, all under strict safety protocols. Each unit goes through an inspection plan that ensures full traceability of materials and compliance with the standards required by the project developers, Ørsted and PGE.
Once operational in 2027, the Baltica 2 wind farm will reach a capacity of 1.5 GW and will provide clean energy approximately 2.5 million households. GPB’s involvement in component manufacturing reinforces the integration of local industry in the development of large-scale offshore infrastructure.
