When the topside of an offshore wind structure has been constructed, it needs to be loaded onto a barge and be transported to the offshore installation site.
The application of an Odin DSU (Deck Support Unit) reduces the direct impact between the underneath of the topside structure and the heavy transport barge.
Odin DSUs are engineered and customized for every individual project, consisting of a stack of elastomeric pads installed between two steel casings.
Odin DSUs are installed onto the deck support frame of a barge. The topside is then loaded onto the deck support frame and our Odin DSUs act to absorb the weight of the topside, supporting the integrated topside structure and allow relative horizontal movement between the topside and the deck support frame during the transportation and mating process.
