With its 9th project since 2019 in the intertidal zone Asia CTV won again the customers’ trust. The other nearshore projects are located in theThanh Hai and in Vung Tau provinces.

New design allows up to 30 % savings

All CTE Wind’s nearshore foundation designs allow to save 30 percent of the construction costs compared to similar projects due to the astonishing design. For the 4.1 MW machines CTE Wind Asia has designed a foundation with 550m3 of concrete, 120 tons of steel and 44 piles. The piles have an average length of 60 meters and are hammered into the muddy nearshore underground. In fact, the geotechnics were very challenging and the piles were also designed in-house to withstand tides, waves and ship movements close to the platforms.
