OJQ – the OWEC Jacket Quattropod. The principal costs in offshore wind power can be grouped in four main categories, and the main structure that contains the tower and foundation accounts for 25% of these costs.

OJQ is the complete substructure – including a tubular tower, middle section and jacket foundation with piles – designed and certified as it will be finally installed at the seabed.

OJQ can be characterized by its unique design elements and low weight. It can support heavy turbines such as todays 5-MW class or higher for energy production in extremely difficult areas and demanding soil conditions. OJQ therefore leads to lower production costs and sets the standard for effective and high energy production.

OWEC Tower strongly believes that OJQ can serve the onshore as well as the offshore market, with a weight reduction potential of 30–50% compared to existing and commonly used technology.
