Lagerwey tower solutions

We provide strong and light tower solutions for all our wind turbines. Our towers are built by top class manufacturers to our design specifications.

Tubular steel towers (TST)

This type of tower is a proven concept that commonly used in the wind market today. Tubular Steel Towers are easy to assemble and form a sleek tower design.

Modular Steel Tower (MST)

The MST tower is a Lagerwey design and consists of metal sheets that are transported on standard trucks. The tower is assembled on site by bolting the metal sheets together for lifetime connection with pre stressed high quality bolts, a proven concept used in other industries. The MST is light and reduces transport movements to 10% in comparison to concrete tower solutions. This reduces transport costs. Another advantage is the ability to build ever higher towers. We are currently designing a tower of 166 meters high for our L136 platform that can be transported without the need for adapting existing infrastructure.

“Pushing the design towards an optimum even in the very early stages of development is considered norm among Lagerwey’s highly specialized engineering departments.”

Tower developed by Lagerwey

Heavy and difficult to transport. Very pricey to break down and recycle.

Increasingly higher tower are leading to exponentially higher costs

Simplification value chain through production in standard segments

Special Production

All parts unique

Special Production

Higher means larger diameter

Simple Production

Higher means more segments

Hard to break down

Reïnforced concrete is very hard to break down and creates tons of waste

Hard to break down

Tower is hard to break down and could not be used on other turbines

Able to recycle/re-use

The MST is less difficult to break down and the parts can easily be re-used.
