Pile Design for Wind Turbine Foundations
Foundation piles transfer dynamic turbine loads to lower-lying ground, thereby providing overall support to the foundation and the turbine tower. Geotechnical and soil-structure interaction expertise is a must for designing wind turbine foundation piles. CTE Wind designed piles with lengths varying from 10 to 70 meters.
Foundation piles transfer loads from the wind turbine foundation to lower-lying ground, thereby providing overall support to the structure. These piles carry concentrated loads and are subject to fatigue. As such, careful assessment of geotechnical conditions and proper interpretation of the soil reports’ drilling logs and laboratory data are critical, which is why CTE Wind has senior geotechnical engineers working on wind farm projects worldwide.
CTE Wind’s pile foundation designs include driven, bored and drilled piles, as well as vibro and Franki piles. Once a pile solution has been selected as most appropriate for the site conditions, the number, lengths and diameters of the piles are determined based on the stiffness of piles and the loads to be carried. Piles are designed
Piles for intertidal nearshore foundations
In recent projects, CTE Wind has designed pile foundations with lengths varying from 10 to 70 meters. The latter, 70-meter pile foundations were designed and built in Asia in different nearshore projects on an intertidal sea-zone. CTE Wind also provided pile designs in Belgium, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Brazil, Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, and Finland to name a few.
