Solar Farm Ground Investigation

We have recently conducted a number of ground investigations for UK solar farms and battery energy storage sites, and can offer this service to developers and EPC contractors in this expanding field, working to Eurocode 7 with trusted contractors.

Windowless Sampler Drilling

CPT Testing

We would work with the Client’s specification if available, but for a typical 50ha solar farm would drill 25 3m deep boreholes with a windowless sampler rig and conduct 200 cone penetrometer tests to 3m. Such testing would identify the soils within the expected depth of the module supports across the development area. The soil properties would be determined by laboratory testing of the recovered soil samples. A typical investigation would also include field CBR testing, electrical and thermal resistivity testing, groundwater monitoring and an assessment of soil corrosive properties. Environmental and UXO desk studies and a utilities search could be added as required. For projects of this scale, we work across Britain, and would be pleased to quote for selected Ireland and Continental European projects

CBR Testing

Resistivity Testing

We work closely with landowners and clients to minimise disturbance and progress the investigation and complete full reports eight weeks after completion of site works.
