Infrastructure for energy

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Network has made a significant and sustained contribution to the creation and durability of structures for the energy sector across the globe. Our expertize is applied to the wind energy market, LNG/LPG containment and nuclear power generation plants.

Increasingly environmentally-friendly solutions are required from the construction industry, while the practicalities and associated costs must be weighed by infrastructure owners. In this situation, there are some compelling advantages for choosing a post-tensioned approach using ¹û¶³´«Ã½ technology.

¹û¶³´«Ã½ technology & benefits for the energy sector include:

  • Post-tensioned concrete wind tower solutions are adaptable and durable, offering long life performance with reduced maintenance – along with the ability to produce up to 15% more energy because PT concrete towers can be 30-40m taller than their steel counterparts
  • ¹û¶³´«Ã½ VT CONA CMB band products and CONA CMG ground anchors, amongst others, are well-suited for use in the construction of windfarms
  • Cryogenic LNG storage - post-tensioned concrete tanks are ideally suited to the task and comply with stringent requirements for containment structures at these very low temperatures
  • ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Network technology & expertize meets the specialist requirements of the cryogenic LNG/LPG industry, based on the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ VT CONA CMI internal system for cryogenic applications and our highly experienced team
  • The recognized adaptability and reliability of ¹û¶³´«Ã½ prestressing systems for the post-tensioning of nuclear power plant pressure and containment vessels has made them some of the best known internationally. The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ team has completed over 60 nuclear energy projects in 15 countries.
  • In the nuclear industry, ¹û¶³´«Ã½ post-tensioning tendons, such as the high-capacity ¹û¶³´«Ã½ VT CONA CMI internal range with up to 73 strands, are typically used in the inner containment.
