Foundation Construction
|
The foundation transmits the wind turbine's dead load and wind load into the ground. ENERCON foundations are always circular.
Depending on the site, the ground can only absorb a certain amount of compressive strain so the foundation surfaces are adapted accordingly. ENERCON’s circular foundations are designed based on this elementary realisation and as a rule are installed as shallow foundations. If necessary, (in soft soil for example) a special deep foundation distributes the load down to deeper load-bearing soil strata. The piles, symmetrically arranged, are slightly inclined so that the imagined extended pile centre lines meet at a point above the centre of the foundation. This provides maximum force/load distribution over the entire surface.

Advantages of ENERCON Round Foundations
- The forces are equal in all wind directions, whereas asymmetrical foundation pressure is possible with square bases or cross-shaped
foundations.
- The circular design has proven to reduce the amount of reinforcement and concrete required. The circular design reduces the size of the formwork area.
- Backfilling the foundation with soil from the excavation pit is included in the structural analysis as a load. This means that less reinforced concrete is needed for foundation stability.
