bridges-which literally span gaps and traverse barriers-represent that privilege. Yet their construction in particular is notorious for taking years.

Already now eight new railway bridges using Preco-Beam have been built in Germany, Austria and Poland."

"Through this new system we can make much slenderer bridges than was previously possible, which require 40 percent less steel,

it also means we now only need days rather than months on site to erect the bridge."

"For instance, when the 140-year-old railway overpass'Simmerbach',located in Germany, was rebuilt using Preco-Beam technology,

or sometimes even economically feasible, to build taller towers, with shipping constraints on tower diameters and the expense involved in construction.

Now Keystone Tower Systems co-founded by Eric Smith 1, SM 7, Rosalind Takata 0, SM 6,

and Alexander Slocum, the Pappalardo Professor of Mechanical engineering at MIT is developing a novel system that adapts a traditional pipe-making technology to churn out wind turbines on location,

at wind farms, making taller towers more economically feasible. Keystone system is a modification of spiral welding,

to create a conical tower. The system is automated highly using about one-tenth the labor of traditional construction

and uses steel to make the whole tower, instead of concrete. his makes it much more cost-effective to build much taller towers,

says Smith, Keystone CEO. With Keystone onsite fabrication, Smith says, manufactures can make towers that reach more than 400 feet.

Wind that high can be up to 50 percent stronger and, moreover, isn blocked by trees,

A 460-foot tower, for instance, could increase energy capture by 10 to 50 percent, compared with today more common 260-foot towers. hat site-dependent,

Smith adds. f you go somewhere in the Midwest where there open plains, but no trees, youe going to see a benefit,

Towers are made in segments to be shipped to wind farms for assembly. But theye restricted to diameters of about 14 feet

so trucks can safely haul them on highways and under bridges. This means that in the United states, most towers for 2-or 3-megawatt turbines are limited to about 260 feet.

In Europe, taller towers (up to about 460 feet) are becoming common, but these require significant structural or manufacturing compromises:

Theye built using very thick steel walls at the base (requiring more than 100 tons of excess steel),

or with the lower half of the tower needing more than 1, 000 tons of concrete blocks,

Smith explains. ut there no way to weld together a tower in a factory that 20 feet in diameter and ship it to the wind farm.

The machine can make about one tower per day. Any diameter is possible, Smith says.

For 450-foot, 3-megawatt towers, a base 20 feet in diameter will suffice. Increasing diameters by even a few feet, he says,

can make towers almost twice as strong to handle stress.)Smith compares the process to today at home installation of rain gutters:

Opening up the country Keystone is now conducting structural validation of towers created by its system in collaboration with structural engineers at Northeastern University and Johns hopkins university.

But despite its efficiency the BAT is designed not to replace conventional tower-mounted turbines Rein says.

Instead its purpose is to bring wind power to remote off-grid areas where towers aren t practically or economically feasible.
