THE <strong>GICON®</strong> <strong>SOF</strong><br />
THE DEVELOPMENT<br />
The development of the <strong>GICON®</strong>-<strong>SOF</strong> is beeing pushed forward since almost a decade. The illustration<br />
below shows the evolution of the technology since 2009 (left-hand side) until today<br />
(right-hand side). In the beginning the <strong>SOF</strong> was based on a latticed strcuture. A latticed structure<br />
benefits from several advantages but high amount of connection makes the manufacturing<br />
process very complicated and expensive. In 2015 the loverable gravity foundation was introduced,<br />
greatly enabling the eased one-step installation.<br />
The latest results from economic considerations and technical innovations helped to accelerate<br />
the progress. Different computational simulations as well as wave and wind tank tests where<br />
carried out. The videos below show different tank tests during different states of development.<br />
Furthermore an animation shows the fast and easy assembling of the <strong>GICON®</strong>-<strong>SOF</strong> in a dry-dock<br />
and its installation using standard tug-boats.<br />
