We are proud to share our extensive experience in foundation testing, having conducted pull out test for screw piles and ramming tests on screw-piles and helical piles (industry-standard term preferred to heli-piles) across more than 10 utility-scale solar PV projects over the past year.
Learn more about our geotechnical expertise in foundation design.
Screw-piles and helical piles are increasingly recognised as efficient and versatile foundation solutions for solar PV structures. They offer a compelling alternative to traditional foundation methods such as driven profiles or micropiles, providing enhanced adaptability to varying ground conditions.
At GEOINTEC, we work closely with clients to assess and determine the most suitable foundation solutions tailored to the specific geotechnical and structural requirements of each PV project. The implementation of pull out test for screw piles has proven essential for ensuring structural integrity and efficiency of these innovative foundation systems.
