CXF-300W Maglev Wind Turbine Generator Off grid System Tower Foundation
1, Foundation Guide for CXF-300W
Before construction the foundation for the CXF-300W system, read these instructions carefully. These instructions are only intend to be guide for concrete foundation on solid soils or suitable roof infrastructure. Please contact your local civil or structure engineer for more information.
2, Ground Foundation
The foundation should be prepared as 1cubic meter in dimension (1000m/mX1000m/mX1000m/m) depth, dug into the soil. Please follow the diagram, make a template of the mast bottom. This template will be temporarily used for holding four Anchor Bolts vertically and electric conduit (if applied) in the precise position while pouring concrete into the foundation hole later.
Insert rebar into the foundation hole and jack up to approximately the right height. Prepare the electrical conduit in place before pouring the concrete if a hidden wiring method is applied. Attach the M16 screwed rods with nuts provided to the template. Make sure there have at least 100mm of thread above the concrete level. Fix the conduit through the center of the template and push the end of other of conduit to the side of foundation (If applied).
Add the concrete, using a vibration poker to remove air voids from the pour. It is very important to make sure that the all four rods are hooked under the rebar. Once the concrete is all poured, make sure that the template has no air voids directly underneath. More importantly, make sure the template is leveled off.
Next, clear excess concrete from above template and use a suitable cover to prevent the foundation from rain. Wait until the concrete has set complete before removing the template (It will take at least for one week).
Just remember, a solid with perfect leveled foundation is one of the key factors to achieve the success of installation.
