Use of plastic in the expansion of the energy infrastructure

When it comes to energy infrastructure expansion projects, such as the construction of wind turbines or the laying of power lines, transporting heavy components over rough terrain is a major challenge. Extremely resilient substrates are required for this. Our plastic ground protection plates offer an ideal solution, as they guarantee maximum load-bearing capacity, optimum load distribution and excellent ground adhesion. As a result, they create a base that is gentle on the ground for various construction measures in the energy sector, create safe access routes to every construction site and prevent vehicles and machinery from getting stuck.

Advantages and applications of plastic in the expansion of energy infrastructure

  • High load-bearing capacity: Our plastic road plates offer an impressive load-bearing capacity of up to 200 tons, making them ideal for heavy-duty transport. They are robust enough to safely carry even the heaviest machinery and components.
  • Easy to install: Due to their light weight compared to steel, plastic road plates are easy and quick to lay. This enables a safe surface to be created quickly and saves valuable working time.
  • Resource-saving transportation: With a transport capacity of 600 to 1,200 m² of heavy-duty plates per truck, they are much more resource-saving than their steel counterparts. Their low weight reduces transport costs and minimizes the ecological footprint.
  • Outstanding weather resistance and long service life: Plastic road plates are extremely weather-resistant and have a long service life. They can withstand extreme weather conditions and remain functional for many years.
  • Stability and protection of construction machinery: Our road plates create a stable, even surface and reduce the risk of damage to machinery. They provide a safe, even surface, increase the service life and efficiency of machinery and avoid expensive repairs.
  • Floor protection: The use of protects floors from damage that could be caused by construction work. This eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly soil recultivation work after construction projects have been completed.
  • Non-conductive: As plastic is not electrically conductive, these road plates offer additional safety on construction sites, especially in areas with high electrical activity, such as power line construction.

 

  • Construction of wind farms and wind turbines
  • Construction of solar parks
  • Laying fiber optic cables for high-speed Internet
  • Construction of power lines or overhead lines for the transmission of electricity
  • In pipeline construction – for example in pipeline construction for the transportation of gas
  • In energy machine construction in general (fluid energy machines: turbines, pumps, etc.)

Temporary roadways for erecting wind turbines

Temporary  roadways are essential for the safe and efficient transportation of heavy components during the construction of wind turbines. Our Giant heavy-duty plate is specially designed to withstand loads of over 200 tons, making it ideal for transporting and installing heavy components such as turbines, rotor blades and tower segments. These construction roads guarantee safe and stable transportation routes and serve as temporary access roads for heavy-duty transport. They also provide optimum stability for crawler and mobile cranes used in the construction and installation of wind turbines. The use of these robust ground plates not only protects the subsoil, but also significantly improves efficiency and safety on the construction site.
