Gravity Foundation

Gravity foundations are the most common solution to fix the tower in the ground. The size and the cost are depending from the loads of the tower and the soil conditions. Normative national annexes may cause additional adjustments of the design.

My aim is to develop an economically attractive and cost-optimized foundation. The required material will be reduced to the limit, without compromising in any way security. Local available materials and realistic concrete strength class will be considered. Savings of up to € 40,000 per foundation have been realized.
