Anker Foundations (Germany) has developed a new type of technology for building foundations for wind turbines. The prefabricated foundations from Anker Foundations require up to 70% less concrete and do not need to be sealed.The foundation consists of individual parts which are prefabricated under controlled conditions, and which are then only assembled on the construction site. The company designed the foundation in such a way that heavy transport is not needed and the foundation can be erected within three days. The company built a first version of the foundation for an Enercon E-115 turbine in 2019. Since then, the foundation has been continuously developed and adapted to systems from other OEM’s. Since October 2020 the foundations are mass-produced at WEC Turmbau in Emden, Germany.
