With the final assembly of 60 foundations at WeserWind in Bremerhaven, all of the 80 Global Tech I Tripods have been successfully completed.
The welded connections were a big challenge as the conically shaped head and foot braces of the tripods needed to be welded to the cylindrical shaped central tube.
Yesterday, the last two foundations were moved to the BLG, and today they have arrived to ABC-Halbinsel for temporary storage. The final assembly of a 900 -ton , 60-meter high giant lasted around four months. All of the 80 foundations will be installed at the Global Tech I wind farm site around the end of this year.
