This project, implemented by Eksim Energy Inc. in Ovacık, involves the installation of one wind turbine and the construction of the related infrastructure, representing a critical step toward sustainable energy production. Our project aims to complete all stages, from the turbine foundation to the access roads, in accordance with the highest engineering and safety standards.
Turbine Foundation and Platform Manufacturing
The most critical stage of the project is the manufacturing of the turbine foundation, which must be able to withstand high static and dynamic loads. This process will begin with excavation of the foundation area and continue with the pouring of grout to increase the strength of the ground. Formwork and rebar installation will be carried out to create the main load-bearing structure of the foundation, followed by the completion of the turbine foundation reinforced concrete manufacturing.
Anchoring systems that provide a secure connection between the turbine tower and the foundation, as well as electrical conduit installations for energy transmission, will be integrated prior to the concrete pour. Finally, grout will be poured to reinforce the structural integrity of the foundation. Additionally, waterproofing and drainage system applications will be implemented to protect the foundation from groundwater and moisture.
Logistics and Infrastructure Construction
The installation of a wind turbine is a specialized logistics operation that requires the transportation of heavy and bulky equipment. Therefore, transportation routes and a turbine installation platform will be constructed with great care for the turbine installation project. Excavation and filling works, which will be carried out in accordance with the challenging conditions of the terrain, will ensure the safe movement of heavy cranes and transport vehicles. These roads and platforms will be delivered in accordance with test standards and made ready for operational use.
To ensure the durability and sustainability of the transportation routes, water ditches will be constructed according to the topography of the terrain. At road crossings, reinforced concrete culverts compliant with DSİ (State Water Works) standards will be constructed to control the drainage of surface water flow.
This project demonstrates how extensive infrastructure work is required even for the installation of a single wind turbine. The Eksim Energy Ovacık Project aims to create a robust, reliable, and modern infrastructure for clean energy production.
