TGE are experts in ground engineering. Our investment in tower foundation research and design using 3D finite element technologies for the wind power sector has led to the development of innovative foundations for the full range of turbine sizes, hub heights and ground conditions including gravity pad foundations with high-stem deep embedment options, micro-piled foundations and rock-anchored foundations.
Our analysis methods provide deep insights into the soil-structure interaction of foundations to overcome the growing challenge of achieving the rotational stiffness required to support increasingly taller towers and larger turbines. Our designs not only improve key operational performance requirements but can also deliver significant carbon and cost savings over traditional foundations.
