In the complex world of solar projects, there are many aspects that are frequently overlooked. For instance, what to do with archaeological finds or unexploded ordnances (UXOs) from WWII. We’re all only human, right? Fortunately, we are here with our know-how, execution power, and checklist to get you actually ready to build. Our development team checks your dataroom to find out what information might be missing.
Here are a few examples:
- UXO Investigation (Unexploded Ordnance)
In many solar projects, clients forget to check early on whether there are any unexploded ordnances (UXOs) present in the ground. If this is not done in time, it can lead to delays. We ensure that this investigation is thorough and conducted on time, so that the project proceeds safely and according to schedule.
- Pull-out Test (POT) and Soil Investigation
Another crucial element is conducting a pull-out test and soil investigation. This assessment determines the load that a foundation system can bear and the soil’s resistance. Clients often underestimate how important it is to know which type of foundation and piles are needed, which largely depends on the soil condition. Factors such as acidity or contamination can cause significant delays and additional costs. With our expertise, we take care of this and provide the appropriate foundation solutions.
- Archaeological Survey
Archaeological surveys are often legally required, especially in areas with a rich historical background. Expert research into possible discoveries, such as old battlefields, can have a significant impact on a project. We handle both the preliminary research and the excavation oversight by an archaeologist to avoid delays and ensure compliance with all regulations.
- Environmental Impact Studies
Many projects involve dealing with ditches, bridges, pipelines, or power cables from organizations like TenneT, Gasunie, or water authorities. These factors must be considered during the project development. Our environmental studies ensure that all permits and checks are arranged in a timely manner, preventing unnecessary delays.
