Innovation in Foundation Solutions
Bracing for the future of wind power
Imagine a 40% reduction in the cost of your materials. Your wind project may be able to achieve this with the Braced Tube Foundation.
One of the main issues for our clients—developers, owners, and EPC contractors—is material pricing. We met the industry’s demand for an affordable foundation solution with this creative unique design.
The idea of a monopile is expanded upon in the Braced Tube design. We improved soil stability, increased lateral resistance, and simplified field verification procedures by installing bracing beams on top.
Comparative Tests
Braced Tube vs. Monopile
Ultimate Capacity Comparison
The similar monopile foundation’s load capacity was 72% surpassed by the braced tube foundation.
Vertical Settlement
Compared to the monopile foundation, the braced tube foundation had 66% less vertical settling.

Laboratory Model Test Results
Braced Tube
The Braced Tube Foundation had a maximum horizontal displacement of about 7 mm, reaching the fifth stage before soil breakdown.
Typical Monopile
With a horizontal movement of more than 13 mm, the monopile foundation collapsed at the third loading phase, where the loads rose by 0.5 kN each step.
