The wind farm projects form part of Hoffmann Greens’ ongoing efforts to reduce carbon emissions in construction.
At the Lavausseau Wind Farm in Vienne, Hoffmann Green worked with the Valorem Group and other technical partners to construct five wind turbine foundations. The concrete used for these structures was supplied by RBS Colas Group from its batching plants in La Peyratte, Dissay, and Echiré, while Lépine TP – Groupe Angevin was responsible for the pouring operations. The design was managed by CTE Wind, and Alpes Contrôles supervised and validated the construction process to ensure compliance with technical and quality standards.
Each foundation at Lavausseau required approximately 690 cubic meters of concrete, amounting to a total of 3,450 cubic meters for the site. Hoffmann Green stated that the pouring was conducted in a single continuous operation, using specialized techniques for temperature regulation, reinforcement placement, and ensuring mechanical strength and durability.
In a parallel effort, at the La Vaure Wind Farm in Marne, Hoffmann Green collaborated with Omexom and TTR to complete two additional wind turbine foundations. The concrete for this project was produced by Pothelet Ecopole, Roncari Aulnay-sur-Marne, and Roncari Vitry-en-Perthois. As with the Vienne project, CTE Wind provided the design expertise, and Alpes Contrôles oversaw the inspection and certification of the construction works. Each foundation at La Vaure used approximately 585 cubic meters of clinker-free concrete, for a total of 1,170 cubic meters.
These combined projects contribute to Hoffmann Green’s broader initiative to reduce carbon emissions in construction by developing and implementing clinker-free cement solutions. The company emphasized that the projects highlight its ability to deliver complex civil engineering structures for the renewable energy sector while maintaining the performance and durability expected from conventional materials.
Hoffmann Green co-founders Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann stated: “The pouring of 100% carbon-free wind turbine foundations demonstrates that the ecological transition of the infrastructure sector is now an industrial reality. We are proving that it is possible to build more sustainably, on a large scale, without compromising on performance or reliability. This is a structuring step for Hoffmann Green and for the entire renewable energy sector.”
Overall, the successful completion of these projects underlines Hoffmann Green’s role as an innovator in low-carbon construction technologies and its commitment to sustainable infrastructure development in Europe’s growing renewable energy landscape.
