The
Norwegian
company
claims
Universal
Foundation's
“revolutionary
design”
combines
the
benefits
of
a
gravity-base
foundation,
a
monopole
and
a
suction
bucket
in
a
single
system,
offering
cost
and
performance
advantages
over
existing
alternatives.
Denmark's
Universal
Foundation
–
formerly
known
as
MBD
Offshore
Power
–
is
bringing
the
Bucket
Foundation
into
production
after
almost
a
decade
of
development,
which
has
included
successful
trial
installations
of
turbines
and
met
masts.
A
key
feature
of
the
Bucket
Foundation
is
a
patented
installation
system
which
controls
the
vertical
alignment
of
the
complete
foundation
as
it
sucks
itself…
