Torpedo Anchors for Ocean Energy
Improving Efficiency of Deep Water Energy Projects
Sperra Torpedo Anchors combine speed, efficiency and cutting-edge 3D printing manufacturing techniques to enhance the competitiveness of ocean energy projects in deeper waters.
Key Advantages of Sperra Torpedo Anchors
Reduced Cost
Anchoring offshore clean energy projects currently consumes approximately 15% of total capital project cost. Steel, the traditional material used, can be subject to significant price fluctuations and supply chain risks. Sperra Torpedo Anchors reduce the overall cost of ocean energy, for example, by up to 3% using local materials and automated construction.
Domestic Supply Chain and Local Manufacturing
Sperra’s anchors generate economic benefits for communities by creating US manufacturing and construction jobs.
