We Can provide You with Community Wind Turbine Support Towers
Wind Turbine Support Towers to suit your needs
A range of freestanding support towers for medium to small size turbines are available. We provide both monopoles as well as lattice structures .
Mechanical interface to the nacelle can be manufactures, provided a foot print drawing can be provided.
For the European market, we utilise Eurocode with the addition of national annex. Other design codes such as TIA can be provided on demand. We perform the structural calculation of towers in-house, or collaborate with recognised external engineers with years of experience in the field of structural tower calculation for offshore and onshore environment.
For many years we have also gained massive experience in structural calculation of towers for demanding environments, such as extremely low temperatures, strong winds, ice thickness and dynamically impacted structures subject to seismic activity.
Most self-supporting communication towers are assembled on the ground and lifted into place in one action using a mobile crane which is a unique feature, saving cost of crane hire. A second, smaller crane/fork-lift or tele-handler, is usually used to off-load the mast from the delivery lorry and to manoeuvre the sections and tower parts in place during assembly. Guy-wire masts can be erected a section at a time with the help of a crane or by using a ‘jib stick’ to hoist the sections into place by aid of a ground based winch. And why not use one of our recommended novel winch systems by LIMPET. Direct mast to LIMPET mechanical interface is available from LIMPET.
