Freyssinet has developed a dedicated turnkey solution for the design and construction of tall concrete towers for wind turbines, allowing project owners and developers to tap into stronger winds at higher elevations and to maximize the energy produced.
Our solutions
The Freyssinet tower design, made of precast concrete sections assembled by post-tensioning, can be adapted to any turbine requirement. Towers can be either complete concrete or hybrid with a steel section at the top.
The erection method is unique, using purpose-designed equipment: the Eolift®. Developed and patented by Freyssinet, this method allows the erection of towers up to 160 metres and at a wind speed of up to 20 m/s without using cranes. The Eolift® equipment can work throughout the year, unlike standard cranes commonly used for wind tower erection which are limited to a much lower wind speed and have a low utilisation factor. It allows also for the assembly work to take place at a low level, which increases the safety of the operation.
Erection can take less than ten days for towers of 145 metres in height. The concrete design allows the use of Australian resources. Combined with the Eolift® erection method, it reduces the carbon footprint of projects as compared to steel towers erected by cranes.
Freyssinet designs and installs high-performance ground anchors to provide reliable stability for wind turbine foundations and related structures. Our solutions ensure resistance against dynamic loads and harsh environmental conditions, enhancing the overall safety and durability of wind farm installations.
Freyssinet provides precision heavy lifting and handling solutions for wind farm projects, including the installation and maintenance of turbine components. Our expertise ensures safe, efficient movement of large and heavy structures such as tower sections, nacelles, and blades, even in challenging site conditions.
Freyssinet is pioneer in post-tensioning work. We offer the design, supply, and installation of post-tensioning systems, utilizing Freyssibar and tendons.
