About me

Hello!

My name is Francesco and I'm an engineer specialized in EPC (that is, "turnkey") wind farms projects.

I'm currently based in Hamburg, Germany and I'm developing several interesting  projects all around the world.

In the last 9 years I had the pleasure of working in Europe, Central and South America, Caribbean and Africa.

If you want to get in touch with me please don't leave a comment in the blog (I don't check them very often) - you can use the contact form or contact me via LinkedIn.

You can write me in English, Spanish and Italian.

To find a (somewhat concise) description of my non-wind business activities you can visit my webpage

If you want to know more about my work, here you can download my CV.

Hope you like the blog!

Francesco

  2. Hi Fransesco,

    Thanks very much for sharing all this material and precious experience. I am currently doing an internship in a company that develops windfarms and my main task it to draw AutoCAD plans of BoP at early stages of projects to avoid discovering problems after BP.
    So your website is my new Bible!

    Thanks Again

    • Hello Sylvain, thank you!
      Sorry for the ultra - late response but this months I've been very busy with the family (now I've got 2 small kids and I don't have enough free time for the blog).
      I wish you good luck with your company, send me an email if you need any kind of help.
      Ciao, Francesco

  4. Hi from Greece

    I'm a surveyor engineer and I have to thank you for your noteboom trailers! I just wanted to ask you one thing; Does autoturn really use rear wheel drive? Because in vehicle properties I can see that it says "steering: front only". Also, I've checked various videos on Youtube where trucks can perform really tight turns, which I think need more space when simulated with Autoturn.

    Many thanks

  5. Thank you for the very informative website. I work for a Central America power company. We are developing a wind project in the region and have some concerns with respects to the soil bearing capacity of our project. I wanted to contact you to hear your thoughts on soil improvement methods. Can you please provide me your email so I can send you a brief on the geotechnical studies and hear your recommendations bases on your experience. kind regards.

  10. Hi Francesco,

    Thanks for creating this website; very interesting.

    I work in the UK in compliance monitoring and environmental management for large infrastructure projects including windfarms.

    My colleague and I often have engineering and turbine related questions to ask so you might find a number of these heading your way if you don't mind!

    Cheers,
    Siue

    I recently started my first job in FFC Energy as an electrical engineer. They are operating a 49.5 MW Wind Farm in Sindh, Pakistan. Your website is a lifesaver for me! All the important and key stuff to understanding wind farms in one place! Thanks! 🙂

  13. What do you know about the P&H foundation system? It appears to work well and use less steel and cement thereby making it cheaper to build.
