Naue Case Studies – Renewable energy
Geogrid-Powered Stability for Thurrock Energy
The site, originally a tidal saltmarsh, now exhibits complex ground conditions. To ensure stable access roads and crane platforms, geogrid reinforcement was specified. Based on prior successful collaborations with Naue, Jones Bros Civil Engineering chose Naue Combigrid® and Secugrid® for the project.
Smart from the ground up – Geosynthetics for energy & water control
From slope reinforcement to hydraulic sealing, Naue’s geosynthetic systems delivered a high-performance, sustainable foundation for this next-generation battery storage facility.
Haul roads & compounds for solar park & electricity storage facility, UK
The Bulphan Fen Solar Farm and electricity storage facility is expected to generate sufficient green energy to power over 23,000 homes for the next 35 to 40 years, displacing around 16,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year when compared to electricity generation from non-renewables.
Pioneering port development with geogrids and geocomposites
The port of Brest is undergoing a major expansion, co-financed by the European Union and the Region of Bretagne. New industrial areas are being developed to support the growing marine renewable energy industry.
Base course reinforcement – Onshore enabling works for electrical cable installation, UK
The Moray West Offshore Wind Farm spans approximately 225 square kilometres. This 60-turbine project will contribute 882 megawatts of green energy to the National Grid, enough to supply electricity to about 1.3 million homes, equivalent to 50% of Scottish households.
Combigrid® – Temporary Haul Road – Dogger Bank, UK
Facilitating the onshore activities for this project would require the construction of over 17 miles of temporary haul roads across the Yorkshire countryside and, although temporary, construction of the roadways was required to be nothing less than substantial.
Secugrid® – Carland Cross Wind Farm
Secugrid® geogrids from Naue proved to be the most cost-effective and technically beneficial solution for the mechanical reinforcement of unbound access roads and crane pads.
