The #planning phase for the repowering project in Meppen-Teglingen is coming to an end. The existing Enercon E66 wind turbines will be replaced by nine #Vestas V172 wind turbines. This week, we are delivering the execution planning (static calculation as well as formwork, pile and reinforcement plans) for the foundation and pile construction. The overall design requires a #hybridtower variant due to the hub height of 175 meters. The concrete tower extends to around 104 meters above ground level. The location of wind turbine number 3 has a special feature that is not uncommon in repowering projects. Like the dismantled existing plant, the new construction also requires a #foundation on piles due to the difficult ground conditions. The pile arrangements of the old and new plants overlap. Therefore, a special pile pattern must be taken into account when dimensioning the deep foundation, which makes the static considerations complex. In this case, the foundation is constructed on reinforced concrete driven piles of the Centrum type with an edge length of 450 mm and a length of around 17 m. A total of 80 #piles are required for the new Vestas V172. The old plant was supported on exactly half that number of piles. This and our graphic shows the enormous development of the #windenergy industry over the last 20 years. #EPC-M for your #repowering

Revolutionizing Offshore Wind Storage: An Innovative Solution for Handling and Storing Monopiles Foundations piles in the offshore wind industry are growing larger, longer, and heavier. As projects become more diverse, traditional storage methods using sand dunes face limitations in terms of geometry and structural integrity. We are delighted to introduce our latest novel solution for Yard Pile Storage. This innovative method uses heavy-duty storage bags engineered to handle significant loads of the stored monopiles. Furthermore, the marshalling of piles becomes efficient with a bespoke lifting system supported on SPMTs. The lifting and storing solutions are designed to accommodate all types of pile geometries and offer flexibility in pile layout on the yard. Key benefits of the method: - Streamlined Process: Reducing yard preparation time to nearly 6 weeks per project. - Time Efficiency: Increasing the operational window of the yard by 55% annually. - Universality: No need for project-specific storage solutions. - Over 90% Reduction in Sand Volume: Compared to traditional sand dunes. - Reduced Pile Stresses: Due to increased support area of up to 25%. - Future-Proofing: Capability to store piles of the future (>2000 tonnes). Let's simplify the logistics of pile storage and load-out, making your offshore wind projects more flexible and efficient.

About Our Design Project: Steam Power Plant Our project involves designing a steam power plant using a single-stage fire-tube boiler. This type of boiler was chosen for its compact design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of operation. It efficiently transfers heat to generate steam, making it ideal for moderate pressure applications. This setup aligns with our goal of creating a practical and reliable power generation system.

Did someone say more #pylons? National Grid has rolled out dozens of new pylons as part of the Hinkley Connection Project (116 T-pylons and 27 traditional lattice to be exact). Delivering low carbon #energy to millions of homes and businesses requires these kinds of massive upgrades to the #grid, for resilient and secure supply. But this project also took *8 years to build*. What else can be done to improve resilience and security, quickly? Bringing #generation closer to #demand. By making power increasingly #local, we can reduce the strain on the grid, creating resilience and security, while buying time for major upgrades like the Hinkley Connection Project.

Top 5 challenges in wind power cable management As a representative of Roxtec, the leader in sealing solutions for wind farms, I often get the same questions from industry people. Here are five frequent ones – and my answers to your struggles. 1. How do we know the seals we use ensure safety and operational reliability? Select quality products tested to meet all specified requirements. Roxtec has the certificates you need. 2. How to handle design changes and unknown cable and pipe sizes and numbers? Specify adaptable seals with built-in spare capacity. With the Roxtec flexibility, you handle any surprise. 3. How to route and seal large and stiff high-voltage and medium-voltage cables? Use seals that you can apply around cables instead of bending them. I suggest Roxtec off-center seals. 4. How to simplify planning, calculating, and designing of cable and pipe penetrations? Roxtec Transit Designer™ is a free online tool for selecting and designing seals. It is pure efficiency. 5. How can we speed up wind farm roll-out and save time on the installation work? Choose a sealing expert as partner. We develop user-friendly products – and we train your installers. All my answers include Roxtec seals, services, and software.
