GEOINTEC Leads the Way in Foundation Design for Solar Energy with innovative Pull-out tests for Screw Piles in Solar Projects
Foundation design is a critical factor in the successful development of ground-mounted solar photovoltaic (PV) projects across Europe. As solar projects expand into areas with less suitable soil conditions, screw piles (also known as helipiles or helical piles) are emerging as a preferred foundation solution for many EPC companies. To ensure their structural integrity and long-term performance, rigorous Pull-out tests for screw piles and load tests for screw piles are essential.
