SUSTAINABILITY + EFFICIENCY
OUR MINDSET
The four elements of Fire, water, air, and earth shaped the understanding of our being for centuries. They only exist together and represent the explanation for the constant changes in nature. The world is held together by these four elements.
Modern science expanded the four element doctrine and analyzed nature, making it small parts. We will never fully understand nature or be able to explain it holistically. There may even be an element of “engineer” in nature. We humans will continue to research and search for explanations. One thing is for sure: In “nature,” form follows function according to the principles of “sustainability” and “efficiency.” Constant re-evaluation, optimization, and change are the most natural things in the world.
At element engineering, we follow nature’s guiding principles. We design our construction projects to be as sustainable and efficient as possible. Experience shows that this approach also leads to the most economical solutions for our customers.

THE STEEL-SAVING FOUNDATION
for wind turbines
Foundations for wind turbines are no rocket science, but thoughtful design pays off.
Standard foundation designs cover about 90% of soil conditions. Thus, they are oversized in quasi 89% of the cases. For this reason, we recommend adapting your foundation to the location. For this purpose, we have developed the optimized steel-saving in-situ concrete foundation. That is not a new invention but an optimized development method. The steel-saving on-site concrete foundation is tailored to site conditions, existing soil, and groundwater levels.
As a result, it is highly efficient, optimally dimensioned, and costs only as much as you have to spend – no more and no less.
No unnecessary concrete and steel need to be used. We’ll be happy to prove it to you.
- We need less reinforcement,
- less concrete but
- we have same construction process and
- the same construction time…
- the only difference: you save money!
THE 100 % PRECAST FOUNDATION
for cell towers and transmission line towers
Advantages of precast element foundations:
- Fast construction time from excavation to completion – installed and ready to use in three days.
- No long construction times, no in-situ concrete, no grout, no curing times, no reinforcement checks, no reinforcement work or installation formwork.
- Dismantling by disassembly and removal. Re-usage of the foundation is possible.
- Lower deconstruction costs.
- Validated production of a certified design – Tested, quality-monitored production in the weather-independent factory.
