News: Macalloy provide the foundation for Swedish wind farm
Post tensioning bars, designed and manufactured in Rotherham by Macalloy are being used in a wind farm on a small mountain in a remote area of Sweden.
The wind farm at Uljabuouda is the first major wind farm built on the Swedish mountains where low temperatures and ice is known to hamper production and cause other problems.
Supported by the Swedish Energy Agency, developer, Skellefteå Kraft has pioneered the development of technology that uses special heaters to prevent the formation of ice on the wings of the turbines.
The farm consists of a total of ten wind turbines, with a total annual production of 80 GWh and will supply electricity to more than 3000 homes.
136 bars from Macalloy in Dinnington were installed as part of the foundation system and the first four wind turbines are expected to begin operations in the autumn of 2009 with the remaining six in the summer of 2010.
