Based in Mulhouse (France) with subsidiaries in Germany (Freiburg im Breisgau), Poland (Warsaw), Brazil (Porto Alegre) and Vietnam (Hanoi), CTE Engineering (CTE) is an experienced office specializing in the design and calculation of wind turbine foundations. CTE has designed foundations for more than 400 wind farms, more than 3500 wind turbines (6075 MW) from 2003 for all types of clients and manufacturers worldwide. We are leader in France in our business area.
Through projects with important clients such as: GDF SUEZ, EDF EN, E.ON, CEZ, VERGNET, NAREVA, ENEL, EDP, IBERDROLA …, we have developed a vast know-how with different types of machines, loads and specification documents of: VESTAS, REPOWER, GE ENERGY, NORDEX, EVIAG, FURHLANDER, ALSTOM, GAMESA, ACCIONA, SIEMENS...
These projects are located in Europe (France, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, Rumania, Bulgaria, Poland), Canada, South America (Brazil, Mexico), South East Asia (Vietnam, Thailand) and Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Ethiopia).
With 15 dynamic and competent engineers, we propose to our client economic and optimized but safe foundations. The design is adapted to the geotechnical reports (gravity- base foundations, piles foundations, soil reinforcement). Further, the foundations design respects the criteria of manufacturers. The calculations are especially realized according to the requirements of the clients and to the standards of the country concerned.
We found shapes of foundations that results in a better formwork and makes transportation and placing of reinforcements become easier. We propose also to carry out the monitoring of the reinforcement on the site. Besides CTE has developed an experience in the dimensioning of the foundations and the verification of the metal structure supporting the photovoltaic panels.
