Introducing the BBR WT Bar System

Exceptionally fatigue resistant wind tower hold down solution

As the wind power industry reaches for ever greater efficiency with taller towers and longer blades, the BBR R&D team has developed a wind tower bar with exceptional fatigue resistance and multi-layer corrosion protection — the BBR WT Bar System. The BBR WT Bar System consists of high fatigue performance BBR C Bar with cold-rolled ISO-specified metric thread and multi-layer corrosion protection. Using the BBR Network’s long experience of working with load bearing construction systems — and indeed of providing post-tensioning for wind towers — the BBR WT Bar System has been specifically designed as a hold down solution for wind tower foundations. While designing the BBR WT Bar System, fatigue performance has been tested and achieved 10 million load cycles. The brochure is available for download here.
