- Measurements
- Slope of soil
- Presence of valleys, hills, etc.
- Vegetation and natural environment
- Urbanization of the area
- Description of the site
We study the corrosivity of the minerals that form the soil. That way we can assess beforehand which materials and techniques are the most suitable. This is highly required when we are developing our solar energy project, for the supporting frames of the solar structures might be affected by these factors. Because of this, we take measurements in the designated site, but also samples for the consequent laboratory trials.
On client request, conductivity tests can be performed following any of these regulations: ANSI / AWWA C-105, EN-ISO 14713, DVGW GW9, and/or other guidelines, being this an optional process.
we study the choices of pile driving in the zone, its classification according to different conditions, defining zones by the grade of difficulty in execution.
If problems were to arise when carrying out this process, a series of alternative methods would be applied.
7. Foundation definition
We offer foundation solutions based on the data and results that have been obtained.
Depth is calculated according to vertical and horizontal loads.
Earthwork is a process we will possibly have to employ on most cases to avoid or fix shortcomings that might prevent the proper installation of the plant.
The degree of intervention will depend on the goal set. We will provide the suggestions, that might range from excavations to formation of stable unevenness, drainages. stabilization methods if required, filling materials, compaction methods, supporting frames, characteristics of the surfaces for vehicle movement, etc.
We can also offer suggestions on boreholes, and solutions on foundation or draining meant to prevent slides affecting the structures and or installations, etc.
