Gran Canaria

A research project investigating the feasibility of installing wind turbines within the arches of the Juncal Viaduct in Gran Canaria to generate renewable energy.

A self-installing telescopic wind turbine and foundation project that successfully delivered the world's first bottom-fixed offshore wind turbine installed without heavylift vessels. The project developed innovative installation methods using concrete self-floating gravity-based structures and self-lifting telescopic towers.

Offshore wind turbine technology

Engineering and construction

Heavy lifting and specialized transport

A self-lifting concrete tower that can extend vertically, allowing the wind turbine to be assembled onshore and then raised to operational height at sea.

A foundation system that floats and is stabilized by its own weight, eliminating the need for pile-driving or other traditional seabed anchoring methods.

A wireless control system developed by ALE to remotely operate offshore lifting and installation equipment from a specialized vessel.
