We are still curious how this innovative use of concrete in turbine construction is going to prove itself in terms of durability. As stated by Ramon Lopez quoted above, this is one of the greatest advantages of concrete, and thus it should not be an issue. However the environment for offshore turbines is truly severe. So we are looking forward to your future updates on this topic.
