Full Service Geotechnical & Foundation Engineering

From desktop studies to full investigations and construction geotechnical observation, we provide expert geotechnical engineering support to make sure your wind or solar project is a success:

1. Desktop studies

2. Preliminary geotechnical investigations

3. Full geotechnical investigation

4. Specialty testing and surveys

5. Geotechnical basis reviews

6. Geotechnical construction observation

Our foundation design practice covers the entire renewable energy space (wind, solar, storage and transmission) and spans the full specturm of foundation types and sizes. We design foundations for large six-megawatt land-based wind turbines (mills), as well as unique foundation systems for 85-kilowatt distributed wind generators.

1. Wind turbine foundation deign

2. Solar foundation testing and design

3. Storage system foundation design

4. Transmission line and substation foundation design

Our construction observation services are tailored to the specialized sectors of wind turbine and solar array foundation construction, where adherence to construction document specifications is paramount. We offer rigorous quality assurance and quality control services to ensure that the construction process, workmanship and materials align with the prescribed specifications and standards. By entrusting us with the foundation construction observation scope of your wind or solar project, you can be confident that the deiivered project foundations will comply with the specified QA/QC requirements.

It is prudent for owners and developers to retain specialists to provide peer reviews of their projects and de-risk their investments. As independent engineers, we offer focused expertise in geotechnical and structural engineering. Our reviews do help identify high risk areas, as well as areas of value engineering opportunities.

Sometimes, construction or operation of renewables energy assets encounters unexplained issues: concrete that is failing to gain the anticipated strength, unusual or excessive concrete cracking of wind turbine foundations that have just been poured, a wind turbine that is oscillating excessively, or any other issue out of a myriad of concerning outcome. This is when our two decades of engineering and construction experience is called upon to investigate while keeping an open mind and an impartial, science and data based approach..

Our services which cover the entire lifecycle of renewable energy projects are enhanced by capabilities and value-adds that give us an edge over the competition:

1. Advanced analysis and design

2. Reliability-based design

3. Geotechnical hazard assessment

4. Codes an standards
