Peikko has received a substantial order to deliver rock foundation technology to the Karahka wind park project in Northern Ostrobotnia, Finland.
Karahka wind park is located 100km south-west of Oulu, in the city of Oulainen.
The contract will see Peikko deliver steel components for the 25 foundations of the wind park.
The deliveries comprise FatBar® rock anchor sets and PSB® punching reinforcement systems.
Peikko is also responsible for the foundation design and structural calculations.
