AIR BUBBLE CURTAIN FOR WINDFARM CONSTRUCTION

摘要

The air bubble curtain with innovative hose system from Continental has been successfully tested in a pilot project at the Arkona Basin Southeast wind farm together with a specialist hydraulic engineering company."With our innovative solution, we make a contribution to the expansion of regenerative energy sources on the high seas, thereby protecting marine life from construction noise," said David Hoffmann, who is responsible for industrial hose solutions in the EMEA and APAC region for the Continental Corporation.For marine life, windfarm projects mean all sorts of construction noise and vibrations which interfere with certain species ability to orient themselves, communicate and to locate prey and predators. In order to protect the animals, a noise level of no more than 160 decibels applies in German waters at a distance of 750 metres from the construction site.
