Situated in Queensland, spanning over 2,500 acres (approximately 1,000 hectares), this landmark project was managed by our Sydney subsidiary under the careful oversight of our headquarters in Madrid.Conducting hydrological, hydraulic, and flood studies necessitated an on-site topographical survey, with particular focus on the geotechnical aspects of both the solar park and the high voltage power...
🔍 Our team is currently engaged in a series of groundbreaking geotechnical surveys and pull-out tests for various solar parks across Colombia. 💡 Over the next five weeks, GEOINTEC will be spearheading the ground engineering efforts for three major solar parks and their electrical evacuation lines in the Atlántico and Magdalena Departments. These projects are...
The engineering and geotechnical survey phase has been completed on two solar parks with over 250 hectares in England.During these surveys, more than 140 test points were examined regarding soil mechanics, accompanied by geophysical and laboratory testing. The intervention was carried out by GEOINTEC’s technical team in the span of two weeks, focused on gathering...
Geointec has carried out two geotechnical studies for a solar photovoltaic farm in the province of Imbabura, Ecuador, with a total area of 400 hectares.
The installation of a PV farm requires both an erosion and flood risk assessment. The 330 Ha area was modeled using a hydrograph to represent small channels and streams and a hyetograph to model rainfall over the entire area. The modeling of the flow velocities of this project highlight the zones sensitive to erosion for...
In this project, the study area for a PV plant was located downstream a dam. The numerical modelling of this dam in the worst situation, when the spillway is full, was necessary to check the impact on the studied area. In order to do this, a model based on hydrographs and composed of mesh with...
What makes this 2D model interesting is the fact that the construction of the plant is taken into account in the calculations. The influence of the roads and civil works is studied, with the completion of the earthworks for the transformer stations. Geointec offers modeling before and after plant commissioning to verify expected water levels...
In eminently flat areas without rivers or canals, hydrological problems can arise in photovoltaic parks. The combination of intense rain and the impact of infrastructure on the land’s natural drainage network can cause significant flooding and areas of severe erosion. For this reason, hydrological and hydraulic studies are necessary to reduce the risks by optimizing...
