Precision, efficiency and sustainability were three qualities we took into consideration on the architectural design for this Denmark-based company’s request for a foundry building for wind turbine production.

 

Baettr’s step into the Indian market for renewable energy production meant strengthening their physical infrastructure to build parts that enable wind turbines and establish the U.S, Europe export volumes. With a vision to build production capacity to 50,000 tonnes by 2025, we knew the structure had to have scalability options.
RSB approached the problem with a blend of sustainable development and cost effective features that would stay true to the company’s commitment to sustainability and the environmental footprint.

 

Our plans carefully shadowed the core services in the melting and casting of the metals to create these turbines. Each section of the building was made seamlessly accessible to the next, from the sand plant and molding plant to the cooling area and settling area. Owing to its environment-friendly design, this facility earned the highest grade in the Indian Green Building Council – the prestigious Platinum Green Certification.
