Peikko will also be responsible for creating the foundation design and will offer structural calculations.

“The necessary amount of concrete is less than 50m³, which is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.”

Marker Wind Park project will be developed by Scanergy, which will collaborate with Swiss utility firm BKW Energie.

Scanergy construction manager Sebastian Prause said: “Peikko’s rock-anchored foundations reduce the need for concrete by more than 90%. Traditional gravity foundations for wind turbines require approximately 600m³ of in-situ concrete.

“Now, the necessary amount of concrete is less than 50m³, which is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. This has been one of the crucial criteria in our project.”
