Wind Turbine foundation:

Development of the bucket foundation for

offshore wind turbines

Geotechnical Engineering Group, Aalborg University

Test site for offshore wind turbine research in Frederikshavn

MBD and ELSAM have establish the test site for offshore
wind turbine research in cooperation with University of Aalborg
ELSAM builds the 4 wind turbines in Frederikshavn using
Tech-wise as consultant.

MBD and University of Aalborg have establish a joint venture

appointing a research professor, Lars Bo Ibsen.
The first project is to develop an innovative foundation
solution for offshore wind farms.
