Reliable, flexible, VanBeton.com
For a proof-of-concept project in the North Sea, Solar Duck was looking for an underwater ballast system. In consultation with us and the mould supplier, Solar Duck’s design team developed a custom product. We produced 90 concrete blocks measuring 120x60x120, each weighing approximately 1,750 kg. The blocks were fitted with a large pipe recess and stainless steel anchor points for hoisting.
The blocks were used to create sets of varying numbers of blocks, which were slid onto a pipe. The sets were then crane-loaded onto trucks and driven to the port of Amsterdam. This special concrete ballast block weighs 2,250 kg (including steel pipe).
Solar Duck builds pontoons fitted with solar panels that float on open water. The company is a pioneer in the offshore floating solar energy market and is driven by a desire to make an impact. Trust and collaboration are core values of the business — and that is exactly why we at VanBeton.com are proud to work with them as a partner.
