Blue wind®. Our steel & services for the wind industry

With wind being such a vital part of our business, everyone in the mill is fully conscious of how important you as customer are to our business. Alongside our strategic location by the sea, our modern production methods, and technical and commercial experts, we know we have a strong offer, but we also know this is not enough.

Our ambition is to go above and beyond, and deliver you a unique product and services portfolio that specifically addresses your challenges.

To meet the demand of the ever increasing size of turbines, we offer XXL steel products and a whole host of added-value services, including a dedicated team to help you manage and follow your orders from A to Z.

We also offer useful add-on services for the wind industry including Fast Track Delivery and prefabrication at our Blue wind® Steel Service Center.

Our dedicated project management support and our fast- track service make it possible to deliver more than 90% of orders on time and in full.

With its need for an integrated supply chain system (slabs to plates) and highly efficient logistics system, we know what it takes to service the wind energy business.

Deeply commited to serving you

When it comes to your steel plate requirements – whatever the specification – we are ready to deliver what you need, when you need it. It’s why we have secured numerous product certifications from the major classification societies. In fact we have adopted Quality, Energy, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety Management Systems to ensure the highest quality, safety, and sustainability.

Blue wind® Welding Center

DanSteel has created a specialist welding center for heavy plates for offshore wind in a new facility at Odense port.

It has automated solutions consisting of:

  • 8 welding tables
  • 4 welding machines

Our welding facility has the right infrastructure and includes both the special welding machines and the space to weld heavy long plates together. Naturally, it is also equipped with the equipment to lift heavy joint welded plates and stock them. And as the major industrial employer on the island, DanSteel has the qualified workers to do the welding processes, each with the right level of skill and certification.

We are the first steel mill to offer joint welding of plates

Best-in-class equipment and technology

Our range of industry certifications are thanks to the precision and control of high-performance machinery:

  • The 4.2 m rolling stand: designed for thick and wide plates, rolls from 5 to 256 mm in thickness and widths of up to 4000 mm
  • The 24 meter long Accelerated Cooling unit: implements intensive water/air cooling modes for heavy plate pro- cessing, including multistage processing. In addition, we offer unlimited water treatment possibilities.
  • The Accelerated Cooling unit (ACC): used in combination with thermomechanical rolling (TM). This technology has taken a central role to produce steel plates with excellent combination of low temperature toughness, weldability, uniformity of mechanical properties and surface of advanced quality.
