The foundation base has a foundation plate and a foundation plinth on the foundation plate. A tension cord connector is provided on the foundation plinth and has a plurality of bores for receiving tension cords. The tension cords are tensioned on an underneath side of the connector by means of a tension cord head. The foundation plate and the foundation plinth are cast from concrete, and the foundation plinth can project above the ground, whilst the foundation plate is located underneath the ground.
- The distance between the upper side of the concrete plate and an underneath side of the tension cord connector is large enough so that the workers have enough space to tension the tension cords.
- According to a further aspect of the present invention the foundation plate and the foundation plinth are cast in one piece from site-mixed concrete.
- The invention likewise relates to a wind energy plant foundation base having a foundation plate and a foundation plinth on the foundation plate. An ingate is provided on the foundation plinth with a plurality of bores for receiving tensioning cables or tension cords. The tensioning cables or tension cords are tensioned on an underneath side of the ingate by means of a tension cord head. The foundation plate and the foundation plinth are cast from concrete and can project above the ground.
- One or more embodiments of the invention relates to the idea of providing a concrete foundation base with a concrete plinth and providing the ingate for the tension cords on the plinth. The plinth is hereby disposed above the foundation base.
- In order to erect a wind energy plant or a tower of a wind energy plant, first the foundation base is provided and then tower segments are placed on the foundation base. The tower segments and the foundation base are then connected by tension cords to a static system. The tower segments as well as the foundation base can be manufactured and supplied separately. Through the foundation base it is possible to dispense with a foundation basement as well as with a foundation base cover. The foundation bases can be constructed flatter so that building costs, excavation and construction time can be considerably reduced.
- One or more embodiments invention further relates to the idea of casting a lower tower segment directly together with the foundation base from concrete or site-mixed concrete so that the foundation base comprises a foundation plate and on the plate a plinth or a segment which is adapted to a foundation base placed thereon and is arranged above the foundation base or above the ground. An ingate is provided on the plinth or the segment with a plurality of bores for receiving a tensioning cable or a tension cord. The foundation base can be used both for the internal tensioning or for the external tensioning (inside the tower).
- According to one embodiment of the invention the plinth or the segment is cast in the form of a lower tower segment of the tower together with the foundation base. The plinth projects optionally above the ground or ground level. This is advantageous because then no foundation basement need be provided and there is sufficient space to tension the tension cords by means of a tension cord head.
