Our passion for a sustainable future goes beyond natural and inland dredging. In recent years, we have specialised in anchoring systems, which now form the basis for numerous floating solar parks in Western Europe. These solar parks provide households and businesses with renewable energy and exploit water areas that would otherwise remain unused, such as industrial waters and sand mining lakes.
The innovative approach allows us to place anchors up to a depth of 120 meters, without the use of divers. Using GPS technology, we position the anchors with extreme precision, ensuring that the structure remains firmly and safely in place, regardless of the conditions. Resulting in a sturdy anchoring system for various types of floating structures.
Our anchoring systems can be used in a variety of locations, including:
Although we now focus primarily on solar farms, our anchoring systems can also be used for wave barriers, floating jetties, mooring buoys, structures and other floating structures.
A good foundation starts with a good plan. Each project is unique, so we will work together with you to formulate the best anchoring solution.
We kick off with a detailed discussion of the project. This can be done by phone, email, video call or at our office. We keep the lines of communication short in order to move quickly and efficiently.
Based on a force calculation, we determine which type of anchors and lines are most suitable. We draw up an implementation and safety plan and provide the necessary documentation and certifications of the anchoring system.
Using 3D GPS technology, we place the anchors of the anchoring system with extreme precision. We then conduct tensile tests to ensure the holding power of the anchoring system and mark the anchors with buoys for easy retrieval.
We provide the GPS coordinates and tensile test measurements of the anchors. This data is often required by finance departments and insurers. We then attach the durable and robust lines to which the floating structure will be anchored. These lines can withstand extreme weather conditions and provide long-term stability.
We guarantee a tailor-made anchoring solution perfectly suited to your project. We ensure that the anchors prevent your structure, such as a floating solar farm, from moving in any direction.
We are always on the lookout for opportunities to achieve carbon-neutral execution. Please get in touch for more information.
Water, nature and innovation come together in our solutions. Let us tie the knot for a greener future.
Together we are committed to our mission; to provide ingenious solutions for in and around the water.
