AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing foundations for tall, slender structures like wind turbines face challenges in construction efficiency, material usage, and environmental impact, particularly with gravity foundations requiring significant manual labor, long construction times, and high material consumption, while precast foundations encounter logistical difficulties.

Method used

A modular foundation assembly comprising prefabricated elements with reinforcement members and a connector, allowing for simultaneous locking and integration with a binder material to form a reinforced foundation, optimizing material usage and reducing construction time.

Benefits of technology

The modular approach enhances assembly efficiency, reduces material consumption, and minimizes environmental impact by providing a quicker, more cost-effective construction method for foundations.

Abstract

In summary the invention described herein is broadly directed to an assembly for constructing a foundation for a structure, the assembly comprising a plurality of foundation modules arranged to define an enclosure about a connector that is engageable to the structure, the connector supported by a framework comprising a plurality of reinforcement members within the enclosure, the enclosure being configured to receive a binder material, which upon setting integrates the foundation modules, the framework and the connector together to form a reinforced foundation.
