RUTE Foundation Systems' new concrete-saving, CO2-reducing foundation system for wind turbine towers has been awarded the 2019 Merit Award from the Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI), based on the first installation of the foundation technology. The modular wind turbine tower base, developed by with early support from climate impact accelerator VertueLab, cuts the amount of concrete needed by 75% over the life cycle of a wind farm. Because concrete contains cement, a material that generates large amounts of CO2 during production, the RUTE system also reduces CO2 emissions. The precast, modular components in the RUTE system are made in beam manufacturing plants and use post-tensioning technology.
