GS-Hydro China has won a contract to provide the piping components, prefabrication and cleaning for CSIC (Chongqing) Haizhuang Wind Power Equipment’s 5MW offshore wind turbines, the company’s first entry into the offshore wind industry.
The wind turbines are located in Fujian area in Southern China.
After 3 years of communication and many onsite visits, GS-Hydro China received a prototype order from CSIC HZ Wind Power for the offshore 5MW wind turbines.
The piping work will be done in the Shanghai workshop and delivered to the site for easy installation.
The GS-Hydro products will be used in the 5MW pitch hydraulic system as well as in the cooling and lubrication systems inside the turbine as well as inside and outside the tower.
The conversion from pipe to hose will still have a few hose assemblies for areas with high vibration or movement. In those areas the GS-Hydro Hoses will be used.
Founded in 2004, CSIC HZ Wind Power specializes in the development and manufacturing of large wind power equipment and related main components.
It was established by integration of CSIC’s (China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation) affiliated companies and research institutes. CSIC HZ Wind Power is expected to have more offshore wind turbine project opportunities in the coming years, GS-Hydro said.
