Pliant Offshore partners with Exail to enhance wind turbine installation precision

Exail, a leading manufacturer of advanced inertial navigation systems (INS), has secured a new contract to supply three Hydrins INS to Pliant Offshore, an offshore measurement specialist. These units will be integrated into Pliant Offshore’s Installation Measurement System (IMS) to improve the accuracy and efficiency of wind turbine installations.

Pliant Offshore’s IMS is an innovative technology designed to provide real-time measurements of the inclination and position of structures, such as monopiles, during installation. The system uses 3D point cloud technology combined with laser sensors to measure and virtually reconstruct objects with high accuracy. The integration of Exail Hydrins INS enhances the system performance by providing precise positioning and motion compensation, even on moving vessels. This enables the IMS to take continuous measurements during the pile-driving process, guaranteeing the correct positioning and stability of wind turbines in challenging offshore conditions.

“We particularly value the offshore capabilities of the Exail Hydrins INS for our operations,” said Alex Heurkens, founder of Pliant Offshore. “This system effectively meets the challenges of our working environment. The Hydrins is extremely robust, reliable and provides highly accurate data, ensuring excellent stabilization of our system and saving offshore contractors valuable time in the field”.

“We are delighted to continue supporting Pliant Offshore in this groundbreaking project,” said Hans-Willem de Leeuw, Sales Director at Exail B.V. “Our Hydrins INS, designed for offshore applications, offers exceptional accuracy in position, velocity and orientation measurements. They are the ideal solution for enhancing the performance of the IMS laser scanner system and ensuring highly efficient and accurate wind turbine installations”.

Exail Hydrins INS has a proven track record in various offshore projects, recognized for its reliability in a wide range of installations. The Pliant Offshore IMS system, now enhanced with Exail inertial sensors, will soon be available for rental as well, building on its success in the installation of over 1,000 wind turbines worldwide.
