Waterproofing Wind Turbine Anchors
Galliford Try
Inspection and Waterproofing of Wind Turbine Anchors
What is the project:
When wind turbines are built they are anchored into concrete foundations. These anchors are inspected carefully and waterproofed to ensure durability and prevent structural degradation.
In this project, you will explore how these waterproofing measures prevent structural degradation. You will do this by examining inspection records and analyse different waterproofing systems before and after concreting.
How this project is useful:
Preventing water ingress to the anchoring system is crucial to the ensuring long lasting, safe energy production.
Project outcome:
- Investigate potential risks of inadequate waterproofing and inspection
- Write a report explaining how inspection processes enable safe, durable construction
Project type:
Research and Practical Investigation
Key skills:
- Data analysis
