Future in Steel

Today, we zoom in on the crucial link between breakthrough technology and practical implementation. Because innovation only becomes impactful when it is engineered into reality. Edwin van Drunen, Director of Enersea, plays a key role in translating new ideas into scalable, reliable solutions. Where Enersea is an offshore engineering company at the forefront of designing the next generation of offs...

In previous episodes of Future in Steel, we explored how composite joints have the potential to fundamentally change offshore wind by addressing one of the industry’s biggest constraints: fatigue in welded steel connections. But what happens when this technology moves beyond offshore wind? As a new design philosophy for steel structures everywhere? Today, we talk to experts who represent both side...

Welcome to a new episode of Future in Steel, the podcast series exploring the technologies shaping the next generation of industrial structures. Today with a very special guest: Chris Skinner, Vice President of Strategic Marketing and R&D for Owens Corning’s Composites business. Where Owens Corning is the world’s leading innovator in glass fibre reinforcements and composite materials. With dec...

Europe’s ambition to remain a global industrial powerhouse increasingly depends on its ability to rethink materials, structures, and design philosophies. In offshore wind especially, fatigue has long been the invisible limiter — driving heavier structures, higher costs, and conservative engineering choices. In this episode of Future in Steel , we explore how that paradigm is changing. Hear out gue...

Europe’s ambition to remain an industrial and economic powerhouse depends on its ability to rethink not only energy systems, but also the fundamental technologies behind them. Offshore wind is a prime example — and at the heart of it lies a centuries-old bottleneck: welded steel connections.  In this episode of Future in Steel , we speak to Marko Pavlovic,  Associate professor at TU Delft, co-foun...

Welcome to Future in Steel — a podcast series about the Composite Revolution: an industrial transformation that makes Europe stronger. Because wherever steel joints are involved, the Composite Revolution means higher quality, up to four times longer service life, lower production costs, lower CO₂ emissions, reduced raw-material use, and more jobs in Europe instead of elsewhere in the world. In Fut...
