DNV reviewed the SOFT-SPOT™ solution

After our DNV certification in Germany, a high level technical review of the Soft-Spot™ solution has been done by DNV in the United States.

After our DNV certification in Germany, a high level technical review of the SOFT-SPOT™ solution has been done by DNV in the United States. Our experience shows that the Soft-Spot solution saves between 5 and 25 percent of foundation concrete, in addition to excavation volume reductions.

CTE Wind’s SOFT-SPOT™ solution has already proven its merits in over 80 wind projects globally and over 1200 foundations built featuring this optimization solution. In the United States, we are proud to report that a high level technical review by DNV found the design to be “generally consistent with the US wind energy standards.” Furthermore, the review anticipates that “the Soft-Spot concept can also be applied to octagonal-shaped shallow depth concrete gravity foundations.”

Resource and cost-saving design

Our experience shows that the SOFT-SPOT™ solution saves between 5 and 25 percent of foundation concrete, in addition to excavation volume reductions. These savings represent a significant reduction of the Levelized Cost of Energy as well as reductions of the carbon footprint of wind energy.
