French project has its cables secured Prysmian has been chosen by Ailes Marines to supply 90km of inter-array cables for the Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm. Prysmian will design, supply, install and commission 90km of three-core 66kV HVAC XLPE-insulated inter-array cables.

Sjogren Industries Sjogren, an innovator in the wire tooling industry, will introduce new products to its global customer base at wire Düsseldorf. Among the products on display at the event will be the company’s new Dead Block straightener. Based on Sjogren’s LD series of straighteners, the lightweight aluminium wire straightener provides a simple solution while maintaining a high level of rigidity. A specially designed seal enhances the life of the rolls by maintaining the high-speed grease within the bearings. The cable cores will be manufactured at the group’s facilities in Montereau-Fault-Yonne and Gron, France, and then assembled and finished in Nordenham, Germany. Delivery and commissioning are scheduled for the end of 2022. Saint-Brieuc offshore wind farm is under construction in the Bay of Saint-Brieuc in Brittany, 16.3km off the French coast. Once in operation, the wind farm – with a total capacity of 496MW – will produce 1,820GWh per year. The installation works will continue until 2022, and the wind farm will be fully commissioned in 2023. Stand: 11 D49

The custom high-speed bearings and labyrinth seal were specifically developed to resist centrifugal forces of a dead block while processing wire at speeds up to 40m/second. The company recently delivered the SH #5 and SH #6 TR puller grips to the market. They are designed to improve efficiency, productivity and safety on the factory floor, and are fully compatible with Sleeper-Hartley-style puller assemblies common across the industry. The thumb release mechanism opens both jaws simultaneously to allow one-handed operation, simplifying wire insertion. The SH #5 TR is compatible with wire diameters from 7.9 to 19mm and a maximum pull force of 5,600 kg, while the SH #6 TR offers a wire diameter of 12.7 to 22.2mm and maximum pull force of 11,363 kg. Designed to be used in a key slot side application, Sjogren’s Long and Short Throw Hooks are quick-release style hooks that are rated for 7,000 kg pull force. The Long Throw version extends to 81mm when released, enabling all tension in the system to be removed. The Short Throw Hook will extend 20mm when released, utilising a simple lever mechanism with only two moving parts.
