About Offshore Wind Power Generation

Offshore wind power generation involves installing wind turbines at sea to generate electricity. It converts wind energy into electrical energy without emitting CO₂ during power generation, making it a renewable energy source. While Japan’s land area is limited, its island geography offers great potential for offshore wind power generation, which is seen as a key solution for reaching carbon neutrality.

We manufacture foundation structures for offshore wind power generation facilities, including transition pieces and jackets, as well as floating structures.

Factory and major facilities

Saijo Factory

Land Area
535,000 m2
Floor Space
48,000 m2

We manufacture large pressure vessels that are approved by ASME and various regulations. Our technologies allow for the welding of extremely thick materials and other such special materials.
By applying our large scale canning machine and welding technology, which we have developed through bridge engineering, we fabricate large steel structures with reliable manufacturing.
