Anchoring and
mooring solutions
Ciel & terre Anchoring,
Make your floating solar
plant a success
Beyond the floating solar structure, the anchoring and mooring systems are key for the longevity of your floating solar project.
But, what is the anchoring exactly? The mooring and anchoring ensure the floating solar structure will remain in its position on the reservoir.
It is a crucial expertise that implies understanding the environmental loads and site conditions to design a reliable floating solar plant. Discover how our Ciel & Terre experts can support you with the anchoring and mooring scope.

Ciel & Terre dedicated R&D anchoring team
We have created our own anchoring R&D team dedicated to designing innovative anchoring solutions. Before realizing the solution to the market, they will manage simulation and real-scale tests on the pond site.
For each project, the local anchoring engineers will tailor-make a proper mooring design adapted to your site conditions.
Our experience
in various
fields
Some projects can be located in areas facing harsh environmental conditions where typhoons, hurricanes, strong winds, waves or currents can happen. Then, the anchoring is the critical element that has to resist the loads and tensions applied.
At Ciel & Terre, we’ve built up the expertise needed to design and provide reliable anchoring and mooring systems adapted for a wide range of floating applications.

01.
The reliable design
by Ciel & terre
For every floating project entrusted to us we provide customized mooring design. Why? Because anchoring and FPV plant design are interdependent. At Ciel & Terre, every floating solar power plant design is unique as it is strongly tied to the site conditions and environmental loads. In line with local buildings standards, our design team will also adapt to the characteristics of your site to create the most reliable design.
