Geological Investigations
Setting up Geological Investigation (GI) program, which complies to the local regulatory requirements, as well as IEC and OEM recommendations.
Quality Control of the GI on site.
Setting-up of the Ground Model for geotechnical analysis.
GeoMint collaborates with local GI market leaders.
Geotechnical Analysis and Design
Finite Element Method models, usually for each WTG location.
State-of-the-art commercial as well as proprietary software.
Modelling of construction stages
-
Excavation, dewatering and temporary shoring
-
Installation of the foundation
-
Operational loads (Quasi-permanent loads)
-
Serviceability Limit State (SLS)
-
Ultimate Limit State (ULS)
Structural Analysis and Design
Finite Element Method models software is used for the Structural design.
Iterative approach with the Geotechnical Design to optimise the size of the required foundation.
The following Limit States are checked:
• Serviceability Limit State (SLS)
• Ultimate Limit State (ULS)
• Fatigue Limit State (FAT)
Structural drawings then drafted, to provide sufficient details as well as the assembly sequence on the jobsite.
Proprietary software
In-house developed software, powered by Python controller, allows to check thousands of different geometries in a matter of minutes.
In this way, the most optimal design solution can be quickly defined.
