RADIAL POST TENSION ANCHOR FOUNDATION

Advantages• Flexible design ability to support any wind turbine generators

(WTGs) produced today or tomorrow

• Rotational stiffness design flexibility and control

• Radial Post Tension Cap super- structure and anchors eliminates cycling foundation fatigue issues

• 100+ year design life achievable, re-certifiable

• Relevant for any soil type

• Economical use of raw material – 50% reduction in steel (no rebar)

• Use of strands eliminate rebar splice waste within structure and reduce construction time

• Anchors available - Rock and soil (hollow stem, auger cast piles, helical, driven piles)
