On September 3rd + 4th the WINDFORCE Conference, which was postponed due to the global pandemic, took place in Bremerhaven. A well-developed hygiene concept, the move to the town hall and a limited number of participants enabled a successful event in the offshore wind energy sector also this year with interesting technical presentations and good network opportunities.

Supported by the almost 150 participants, the responsibles and speakers of the conference used this event to send a clear message to the federal government. A quick “special contribution offshore” as a supporting measure to achieve the expansion goals is mandatory for preserving the medium-sized companies and their know-how.

As in previous years, Helmut Müller GmbH participated in the conference with a sponsorship package and was represented on site by its employees Christoph Schultejans and Holger Bartels.

The foundation structures of the Niedersachsenbrücke in Wilhelmshaven (in Lower Saxony) are being repaired since May 2017. Niedersachsen Ports plans to renew the coating of appr. 700 foundation piles within a project period of roughly 5 years. Helmut Müller GmbH has been involved in the project since the start of the work regarding the construction accompanying quality assurance as well as further inspection and consulting services in the field of corrosion protection. Again this year another of the five sections will be repaired in the period of April up to September. For the removal of the old coating an induction method is applied, which apart from the consideration of the recurring tidal range and the overall length of the object, makes this construction project so special and demanding.

During the period from the 20^th up to the 22^nd of November our employees Marcus Peters and Holger Bartels accepted an invitation of our project partner SSPC-CN to Shanghai. The conference organized by “GreenCoat” and “SSPC CN” with an international audience and interesting technical presenta-tions provided an exciting insight into current topics of the line of business in Far East as well as the acquisition of new contacts. It became apparent, that despite the great distance to China and the completely other cultural and industrial structure, the requirements and problems in the field of the industrial corrosion protection are very similar. Mr. Bartels held a presentation of appr. 25 minutes, beside the company Helmut Müller he presented very impressively the circumstances and challenges of offshore corrosion protection works.

During the last quarter of this year the Helmut Müller GmbH will be present at various representative events and exhibitions in the field of wind energy “onshore and offshore” as well as in the field of maritime technology. (more…)

The Federal Association „Bundesverband Korrosionsschutz e. V.“ organised this week with the BVK symposium its this year’s branch get-together in Cologne.

The association, founded from a former community of interest of companies and individuals in the field of corrosion protection and from the steel and concrete industry, represents the interests of its member companies and serves as a communication basis for all stakeholders and interested parties.

The symposium was addressed to the members of the association as well as some invited guests from this business sector and presented beside many exciting lectures, demon-strations based on practical experiences and an accompanying technical exhibition an excellent back-ground for a personal and lively exchange of ideas.

The Helmut Müller GmbH – represented by the managing director Hendrik Müller und the operations and project manager Christoph Schultejans –  informed the participants and visi-tors by an information desk about their range of services and enjoyed a lot of interesting conversations and were glad to establish new contacts.

In the previous week (on March 21 – 22, 2019) many experts and specialists as well as interested parties of the offshore segment accepted the invitation of Ms. Katja Weißbach (cooperation partner of company Spreewind GmbH) to Heiligendamm.

The lectures, organised in different blocks in the field of „fascination offshore!?“,  „technology & inno-vations // needs of humans & nature“ and „offshore international“ offered interesting insights into a wide range of offshore topics and formed an excellent basis for a lively and intense exchange of ideas and for networking.

In addition to attending the lecures, the Helmut Müller GmbH used the opportunity to present them-selves to the guests by an information desk and to provide furthermore  details about their range of services.

„Creating an atmosphere of trust, that quality requirements are met“, this is among others a description of the term „quality assurance“.

Particularly nowadays, the quality and the associated quality assurance play an increasingly important role. The demands on a long duration of protection of corrosion protection systems, the increasing cost pressure, the continous updating respectively new releases of standards, guidelines and regulations are some elementary components influencing the quality. Our offer of traning courses is (more…)
