Frequently asked questions
What clients usually ask us
Common questions about profile driving, testing and how we work on site.
What types of projects do you handle?
We work mainly on utility-scale solar farms that require foundations using driven steel profiles.
Why use driven steel profiles over other foundation methods?
Driven steel profiles offer several advantages: greater structural capacity to resist vertical, lateral and tensile loads. Better performance against wind loads and forces applied to the photovoltaic structure. Greater rigidity and stability of the support system. Excellent performance in projects that demand a robust, long-life foundation. Lower risk of displacement or deformation when the geotechnical design requires a stronger foundation.
What is a Pull-Out Test and why is it important?
The Pull-Out Test is a field test that measures the soil's capacity to resist the tensile loads applied to a driven steel profile. It verifies that the proposed foundation meets the structural design requirements before the profiles are installed, and provides key data to optimize the driving depth when needed. It increases the project's reliability and safety.
What types of soil can you work in?
Our equipment can work in a wide variety of soils, including sands, silts, clays and partially compacted ground.
