The turbine I have described sits on a concrete base about 2 metres
across and 1 metre deep. It requires no support wires of any kind.

roughly, from memory, about 4 tons of concrete?

1) She has the sand on site.

Too much salt in it or something -- it DOES NOT make concrete
We have tried; others around the coast have found the same problem. It just doesn't set

2) There must be lots of rocks about to reduce the need for importing
same.

No rocks - that are not part of the house, or essential field boundary.

3) Probably get away with 1T cement, use the excavated sand, pebbles
from local beach (OK, probably illegal) or nearby wall?

No mineral / quarrying rights on this land.

Batching plant in gravel quarry less than a mile away.


Doesn't seem like quite enough of a base to me, but there you go.

seems small to me, but I know nuffink
