GEOINTEC Protects 840 MW Solar Plant with Advanced Flood Risk Assessment
A massive 1,700-hectare solar photovoltaic plant in New South Wales, Australia, now boasts cutting-edge flood protection thanks to a comprehensive flood risk assessment developed by GEOINTEC.
The project, which generates 840 MW of clean energy, was analyzed using a sophisticated 2D hydrodynamic model that maps every vulnerable corner of the terrain. This assessment not only identifies risk areas but has also been specifically designed for the unique requirements of photovoltaic foundations.
“A proper flood risk assessment is like a life jacket for solar infrastructure,” “It’s not just about predicting where water will reach, but understanding how to protect each panel and structure precisely.”

The data obtained from the hydrological study was integrated with detailed geotechnical information, enabling the design of custom mitigation measures. These solutions protect not only the solar panels but also their foundations and all site infrastructure.
