Just as your home needs a solid foundation to stay in one place, a wind turbine also requires a reliable foundation before it can get to work. The installation of massive underground concrete foundations keeps the turbine standing strong and plays a crucial role in how a wind turbine stays on the ground. However, concrete foundations are useless in areas where the soil is soft, unstable, or the geology of the area prevents massive underground disturbances. In areas of the country where large foundations are not possible, it is essential to use helical piers or a singular large pier to hold the turbine to stable ground. With its foundation attached to sturdy earth far beneath the shifty surface and its base covered in soil and concrete, the turbine faces little risk of falling or failing.
