Customer Tenaris Argentina
Scope of work EPC

Segment

Energy transition

Due to the effective performance of our work teams and collaborative efforts across various sectors, the goals outlined with the customer were successfully achieved within the agreed-upon timeframe.

The project envisaged laying two different foundation configurations with diameters of 24 and 28 meters, defined according to the water table and the project’s proximity to channels and flood zones. The base of each turbine is set 3 meters deep into the ground. The 24 wind turbines were then mounted on the bases, comprising metal towers of 130 meters in height and blades measuring 75 meters in length.
