Seatower in a nutshell
Seatower in a nutshell
Cranefree® Gravity technology
Self-floating before installation on the seabed.
No need for heavy-lift vessels – tugs perform transportation and installation.
Designed for mass manufacturing using only standard, low-cost materials including regular concrete and steel.
OptiGrav© software solves the complex cost optimization of GBSes that are both seaworthy and able to resist extreme loads in operating conditions.
Both structural and transport/installation costs
are included.

Job opportunities and flexible logistics
Gravity base concrete construction can create high-quality local manufacturing jobs and help fulfill political requirements. The primary cost is labour, as opposed to steel construction that is intensive on materials and equipment. Therefore, more jobs are created.
At the same time, the logistics for Seatower foundations are flexible and can accommodate fabrication further afield. This can be useful for cost reasons or if local fabrication areas are not suited.
The need for onshore fabrication areas is lowered by the opportunity to store completed foundations in floating condition.

Environmental benefits with Cranefree® Gravity
Underwater construction noise carries far and decreases the chances of survival for marine species. Seatower’s technology avoids any piling noise pollution.
