Corrosion inside monopiles is a widespread phenomenon in offshore wind farms, but the knowledge about its origin and impact on the life time is very limited. JBO is investigating the phenomenon in an interdisciplinary collaboration with the Kiel University of Applied Sciences, the GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel and Krebs Korrosionsschutz GmbH.

The project “Microbial Fe corrosion and possible corrosion protection measures in the monopile of offshore wind turbines (MiCorFe)” is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) over 3 years.
