one thing you over look when building wind farms is when turbines want replacing down the line it is very difficult to get replacment turbines out to sea. My company has developed a rubber road surface that is ideal for use in the sea and as it is constructed using recycled rubber and polymer geogrid the sea will not damage it enabling heavy plant to get the turbines out to sea also giving easy access to maintenance for more information please contact me thank you
