About BG Wind
BG Wind GmbH operates a precast concrete plant in Kavelstorf near Rostock. The company, with 250 employees from 19 nations, draws on more than 20 years of experience in precast concrete production. The current production focus is concrete elements (keystones) for hybrid wind turbines from Nordex Acciona; capacity is approximately 1.5 turbines per week. About 1,500 t of C80/95 concrete and 89 t of B500B reinforcing steel are processed per turbine. The reference project is the Nordex hybrid tower Santow West in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with a hub height of 179 m, the tallest Nordex installation in Germany to date. The plant covers 42,000 m² of production space and 205,000 m² of storage space and is connected via the A19/A20 and the Rostock overseas port. In addition to wind turbine elements, the plant is open to other precast concrete products.
