Case Studies

Case Study
ANDRITZ HYDRO HAMMERFEST HS1000
With a rated capacity of 1MW and a diameter of over 20m the ANDRITZ HYDRO Hammerfest HS1000 is the largest single tidal turbine rotor to be installed to date. The 9m tidal blades were engineered and manufactured using Gurit materials by a team at Gurit UK.

Case Study
CENTRUS ROTARY PLATFORMS, NEW ZEALAND
To compete in today’s world market, New Zealand, a country of just 4 million people, has had to innovate to differentiate itself from global competition, many of whom are located closer to the primary customer base.
