The United Kingdom has just confirmed a historic milestone: 14.7 GW of new renewable energy capacity secured in a single procurement round, including an unprecedented number of solar projects. The accelerating pace of the energy transition demands increasingly precise and integrated ground engineering solutions, and GEOINTEC is at the forefront of meeting that growing demand.
A proven track record in the renewables market
In recent years, GEOINTEC has delivered fifteen studies for renewable energy projects across the United Kingdom, contributing to more than 350 MW of installed capacity. This accumulated expertise in ground engineering and hydrology positions the company as a trusted technical partner for developers, investors, and public authorities alike.

Case study: 78 MWp solar farm in England
The company’s most recent assignment comprised a Hydrological Study and Flood Risk Assessment for a 147-hectare solar farm — 78 MWp of solar PV and 120 MW of BESS — located in England. Using advanced 2D hydrodynamic modelling, the team mapped potential flood impacts across the entire site. By integrating this data with geotechnical information, it was possible to design precise mitigation measures to protect solar structures, foundations, and critical project infrastructure.
Flood Risk Assessments are critical for identifying vulnerable areas within a solar PV site and for guiding the development of effective mitigation strategies for PV foundations. It is essential that these studies consider the specific design requirements of PV foundations in order to accurately assess potential flood-related damage.
