Bringing the industry the strongest and safest flange connection
The C1 Wedge Connection™ is the high capacity wind turbine and foundation interface connection. It can deliver an ultimate and fatigue resistance that outperforms all bolted flange connections.
The C1 Wedge Connection enables the largest wind turbines in the world on monopiles
Overturning moments are increasing with increasingly larger wind turbines, the C1 Wedge Connection can deal with these larger loads without requiring a very large interface diameter. This reduces wave loading on the monopile significantly reducing the monopile weight and facilitates installation with conventional installation equipment.
How it works
The C1 Wedge Connection is a symmetric connection with a wedge shaped fastener that creates a strong and safe connection.
C1 Connections has developed an analytical design tool. This tool enables anyone to make a design for a C1 Wedge Connection with only a few input variables.
