Building Gravity Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines (QuickTime Video)


Video
© 2000 Soren Krohn

This video shows workers casting concrete for the gravity foundations of the Middelgrunden wind turbine park off the coast of Copenhagen. (The video runs for 1 minute and 10 seconds, 1087 K, soundtrack included, free QuickTime plugin required).
These foundations are a hybrid between steel and concrete foundations since concrete is only used as the ballast in the bottom section (the cylindrical 17 m slab).
