Foundations for Wind Generators
Geotechmin OOD has built the foundations for 14 wind generators in Dobrich region – 6 units in Kamen Bryag village, 1 unit in the town of Kavarna and 7 units in the town of Shabla. The wind generators are model Vestas V90 with a nominal power of 3 MW. They are 105 m tall and weigh 70 tons. The diameter of their rotor is 110 meters.
Structural parameters of the foundations:
- foundation dimensions – 18/18/2.7 m
- depth of excavations – 3.5 m
- amount of reinforcement installed in a foundation – 52 tons
- amount of concrete laid in a foundation – 800 m3
The project also includes construction of 15 km of roads and 14 crane stations (dimensions 30/50 m) for positioning of the 1,000-ton mobile crane which is used for installing the wind turbines.
Conducted works:
- excavation works – 16,000 m3
- reinforcement works – 728 tons
- formwork – 2,700 m2
- concrete works – 11,000 m3
- flanges for fixing the turbines’ towers – 14 pcs
- crushed stone for roads and crane stations – 360,000 tons
- geotextile for roads and crane stations – 100,000 m2
