Anorra Wind Turbine Towers: Built Using Reliability
At Borrum Energy Solutions, reliability isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we build into every wind turbine and tower we produce. That commitment is a big part of why we design and manufacture our tower system in alignment with CSA S37.
For those unfamiliar, CSA S37 sets the guidelines for how antennas and towers structures in Canada must be designed and built to handle wind safely. In practical terms, it means designing for real-world conditions, strong gusts, sudden weather changes, and the kinds of extreme wind common across Canadian landscapes. This matters even more in remote areas, where the weather can be harsher and less predictable, and where equipment has to perform without constant oversight. For us, this standard isn’t an added feature, it’s the baseline.
What does that look like in practice?
It means our towers have been designed for more than 200 different scenarios, not just to check a box, but to make sure they hold up in the kinds of conditions our customers actually face including 189km/hr wind. It means choosing corrosion-resistant materials so components last longer in environments where moisture and ice are part of daily life. It also means planning for heavy icing, over an inch, so performance and safety aren’t compromised during winter months.
Designing to this standard also means thinking beyond “average” conditions. We don’t assume ideal weather; we assume the opposite. That approach helps reduce the risk of unexpected failures, minimizes maintenance needs, and keeps systems running when they’re needed most.
For customers, the benefit is straightforward: more uptime, fewer surprises, and greater confidence in their energy system. In remote or off-grid settings, especially, reliability isn’t just convenient, it’s essential.
At the end of the day, we know our customers value dependable performance because they rely on it. That’s why we make reliability a top priority in every decision we make, from design and materials to testing and standards we follow.
