Geotechnical Engineering Studies Drive Energy Infrastructure Projects in Germany

Geotechnical engineering studies conducted by GEOINTEC in Lower Saxony and Hesse demonstrate the importance of deep investigations to ensure the success of power transmission and wind energy projects.

Geointec is proud to share its recent experience in geotechnical engineering studies for river and road crossings of underground transmission lines, as well as wind farm developments in Lower Saxony and Hesse, Germany.

The scope of work executed included highly complex technical geotechnical investigations. For river and road crossings of transmission lines, deep geotechnical investigations extending to over 20 meters were conducted at critical crossing points to identify potential ground risks and inform fundamental design decisions. Comprehensive geotechnical assessments were carried out for both pipe drilling/ramming operations and excavation well construction.

Wind Turbine Generator Assessments

Regarding Wind Turbine Generators (WTG), deep geotechnical investigations extending to over 30 meters were performed for each unit, enabling the identification of potential ground risks and informing critical design decisions. Comprehensive geotechnical assessments covered WTG foundations, geotechnical soil conditions for the embankment of the platforms, access roads, and the electrical substation.
