Hexicon and SSAB aim to optimise the super-strength Welcox structured steel that is in the frame for use in the foundation of the Hexicon flagship, "to ensure functionality and cost-effective solutions during the complete life cycle".

The pilot unit, which would feature "three or four" 6MW turbines, would be moored on the Bleking concession off the east coast of Sweden in 40-50 metres of water.
