Accuracy of Wind Turbine Anchoring
What is the project:
When wind turbines are built they are anchored into concrete foundations. In this project, you will examine correct placement of the anchor by investigating tolerances of different positions alongside engineers’ drawings.
How this project is useful:
By studying the impact of small changes in positioning, Galliford Try can ensure long-term structural alignment. This is needed to ensure safe and reliable offshore wind energy.
Project outcome:
- Document your measurements and analysis
- Written report explaining how positional controls contribute to quality, safety, and long-term success
Project type:
Practical Investigation
Key skills:
- Data analysis
- Communication
Location:
On site at:
ORE Catapult site, Albert St, Blyth, NE24 1LZ
