Built for strength, safety, and long-term performance in wind energy
Offering flanges specially designed and tested for use in :
- wind turbine towers
- transition pieces
- bolted floating wind structures securing higher strength capacity compared to traditional flange design used in the wind industry,
Securing : - higher strength capacity compared to traditional flange design used in the wind industry,
- a more efficient and safe assembly and installation
- a maintenance free solution during operation
The developed design is based on principles and experience from delivering flanges to O&G systems exposed to harsh environment for more than 30 years. Relevant flange diameters are from 0,5 m – 10 m. We are in the lead among flange suppliers taking our proven technology and experience from the O&G industry to the wind industry together with our customers.

TP-Products’ static structural wind power flanges can be utilized in transition pieces, turbine towers, and floaters, serving as a superior replacement for traditional L/T-flange solutions and welded connections.
TP-Products’ structural wind power flanges offer a unique alternative to traditional L- and T-flange solutions in systems exposed to high dynamic loads, such as turbine towers, transition pieces, and floaters. Engineered to deliver higher strength capacity while remaining entirely maintenance-free, they provide superior reliability over standard connections.
Yes, TP-Products can supply both L-flanges and T-flanges tailored to your project requirements.
Our wind power flanges have received Approval in Principle (AiP) and subsequent design certification from DNV for use in floaters, turbine towers, and transition pieces. This validation follows extensive physical testing on flanges up to 2 meters in diameter, alongside rigorous finite element analysis. Proving their real-world reliability, TP-Products’ wind power flanges have already been successfully installed on three operational floating structures.
Our flanges are entirely maintenance-free because they form a static connection that prevents bolts from loosening. Additionally, the face-to-face design creates a complete seal that prevents water or air from entering between the flange faces, eliminating the risk of internal crevice corrosion.
TP-Products’ wind power flanges deliver a significantly higher strength capacity than traditional flange solutions for the same design scenario. By utilizing engineered face angles, our design optimally distributes loads between the heel and the wedge, allowing the flange itself to be pre-loaded. Conversely, traditional flanges are flat, making it impossible to distribute loads between the heel and wedge or to pre-load the flange structure effectively.
TP-Products’ wind flanges are designed in Norway and manufactured by approved sub-suppliers in either Europe or Asia, depending on the location of the wind farm project and customer requirements.
Yes, both our L- and T-flange solutions are patented for use within the wind energy sector.
