Peikko will deliver all steel components for the 14 foundations of the wind park, which consists of FATBAR rock anchors, tower adapter plates with tower connection bolts, drilling templates and an assembling system, and special reinforcement steel technology.

Peikko is also responsible for the foundation's design and structural calculations. Deliveries are scheduled to take place between August and October 2019 with the wind park expected to be operational by the end of 2020.

"We at Peikko are proud to be a preferred supplier to the remarkable wind power projects in Norway. Our solutions are both reliable and timesaving, and we can also provide our customers important cost-savings in materials used. Being part of green energy production supports our goals for a more sustainable way to design and build," said Topi Paananen, CEO of Peikko Group Corporation.

The developer and future owner of the wind park is TrønderEnergi Vind, a joint venture between Trønder Energi and Stadtwerke München (SWM), one of the largest energy and infrastructure companies in Germany. Søbstad AS is the main contractor of the civil work and infrastructure and it will also perform the technical assembly of steel components and foundation casting works.
