ARE Towers - for Wind Applications

 The ARE AFS features:
  • Tilt-Up Monopole design
  • Ballasted Foundation with truss arms for rigidity and mass to recreate a concrete foundation. Any available material for mass can be used, (dirt, sand, gravel, concrete blocks, etc.) as long as it meets the required ballast weight. This helps reduce the overall cost of the system and speeds up installation time.
  • Raising Systems include a 5 ton hydraulic ram for the AFS150/200 and an Electric Screw Jack for the AFS 500/550.
  • Well tested by the U.S. Military.

AFS 150/200

The 200 foundation is rugged, assembles in minutes and can support 38,000 ft lbs of base moment in average soil.
The key to ARE's design and patent is two central plates that give the foundation it’s strength, including 4 legs and ballast trays, or bolted brackets, that anchor the system.
We recommend the AFS200 be paired with the SD1 Wind Turbine for your off-grid wind project.

AFS 500/550

ARE has created the 500 series to work with poles up to 80’. Using a larger footprint with an outer ring for ballast, the 500 series has a footprint of 17’ in diameter and can support 173,000 foot lbs.
Using a central hub to connect all 8 truss arms, the 500 and 550 can ship in a small box or on a US Military Racking System to fit within a C130 plane. The foundation typically installs in 4 hours with a crew of 2-4 people and proper tools.
This system has been used extensively by ARE for telecom and renewable energy for years with great success with multiple units being deployed with the US Air Force in the Arctic Circle.
We recommend the AFS550 be paired with the SD3 or SD6 Wind Turbine for your Off-Grid project.
