A Geointec team moved to the south of the Atacama Desert, in the Antofagasta region of Chile, to conduct the Geotechnical Studies for the construction of a photovoltaic solar plant that will have a nominal power of about 200 MW.
We started the year taking stock of the projects carried out, and we emphasize that only in the Iberian Peninsula Geointec has carried out more than twenty geotechnical studies for renewable energy projects, which affirms the increase in the production of green energy in the country.
GEOINTEC has been the company selected to perform the geotechnical studies for several solar plants located at 4,000 meters above sea level in Argentina.
The retrospective study or "Back Analysis" is an effective method that allows to analyze the resistance of the land and to obtain, using the results from the load tests or "Pull Out Tests”, certain geotechnical parameters of the selected area for the construction.
