Challenge
Situated in a farm in rural Angus with large areas of open ground a solid foundation was required that would cope with the significant uplift forces to the solar array and provide maximum stability.
Speed of installation was of importance to the client so that business operations could continue as normal.
Solution
A pre-installation survey was carried out with site-specific testing to measure the tensile force of ground screws, ensuring the correct specification to meet with performance requirements. 56 Nr. ground screws were installed in two parallel lines, with Van der Valk frame system installed immediately after, all ready for Solar PV mounting.
All work was streamlined and completed within three working days.
