In compliance with Eurocode standards, our service designs and optimizes the placement of structures to ensure both robustness and competitiveness. They are tailored to adapt to site constraints and maximize the energy output throughout the plant's lifespan, with minimal environmental impact. Their zinc/magnesium coating makes them durable and resistant to challenging environmental conditions (corrosion classes C3 to C5). We also calculate the dimensions of the foundations, whether they are driven, screwed, or concrete-based.
Foundations are a critical element of any structure. For driven or screwed piles, to ensure proper dimensioning, we systematically organize pull-out tests (POT) during the pre-project phase. The results of these tests complement the geotechnical analysis and determine the final dimensions of the foundations and structure. These tests are conducted under the supervision of a geotechnician and a control office to ensure compliance with applicable standards and validate the final dimensions.
Depending on your needs, we provide an integrated service by entrusting the overall coordination of your project to our team of experienced Project Managers. They will ensure the project is successfully completed within the deadlines and in compliance with safety standards. Our teams can handle GPS layout, foundation installation, and structural assembly.
Conditions during the construction phase of a photovoltaic plant are rarely easy. This is why we have continuously invested in equipment and tools specifically designed to enhance safety and productivity. We also maintain a substantial stock of all standardized components for our structures, as well as the most commonly used foundation screw models. These resources allow us to respond quickly to various needs, whether for maintenance interventions or the rapid start of a new project.
PV plants are designed for a lifespan of 20 to 30 years. Once operational, we remain by your side: we can provide mechanical maintenance throughout the plant’s lifespan and commit to intervening promptly, if necessary, to prevent any production loss.
Geological studies are a key step in ensuring the durability and safety of solar installations. They allow for the assessment of soil characteristics, whether embankments, rocks, or soft soils, and the adaptation of foundation solutions accordingly. For example, foundation screws are ideal for complex soils, while other techniques, such as swivel feet, can adjust for differential settlement in unstable terrain.
These analyses also make it possible to anticipate local climatic constraints and design structures capable of withstanding strong winds, snow loads, or significant temperature variations.
The pullout test is a crucial step in foundation validation. This process involves applying a vertical force to the anchors to measure their actual strength under specific site conditions. These tests ensure that the foundations can withstand the loads associated with solar panels and structures, even in extreme weather conditions.
They also allow for optimized foundation sizing to avoid unnecessary additional costs while ensuring maximum safety. Finally, they contribute to ensuring the compliance of installations with European and international standards, an essential criterion for major B2B projects.
Each solar project is unique, and SigueSol strives to offer tailor-made solutions based on its clients' specific needs. Our teams use advanced simulation tools to analyze site constraints, whether they involve sloping terrain, extreme climates, or particularly large surfaces.
These simulations allow us to optimize panel orientation, maximize solar capture, particularly for bifacial panels, and design durable and cost-effective structures. This customization ensures solutions perfectly suited to the expectations of photovoltaic project developers.
SigueSol is at the forefront of innovation in the renewable energy sector. Our solutions include the use of concrete-free foundations, which are both environmentally friendly and easy to install. These foundations, like ground screws, allow for rapid installation, even in difficult terrain, while preserving the soil.
Our structures are also designed to maximize energy efficiency, particularly through the integration of bifacial panels, which capture light on both sides. In addition, we offer modular solutions, ideal for sloping terrain or large-scale projects, making them easy to adapt to different contexts.
Sustainability is at the heart of our approach. Our structures are manufactured from highly resistant materials, such as galvanized steel with a zinc/magnesium coating, which guarantees excellent corrosion resistance, even in saline or industrial environments.
Preliminary studies and on-site tests ensure that structures are perfectly sized to withstand local climatic conditions. Furthermore, our reversible solutions, such as foundation screws, help preserve soils and facilitate end-of-life dismantling, thus contributing to sustainable resource management.
Yes, SigueSol offers comprehensive support during the installation phases. Our teams oversee the entire process to ensure that plans are strictly followed and that structures meet current safety standards.
This supervision includes checking anchors and connections, as well as on-site training for local teams to ensure optimal maintenance of the installations. This level of supervision is particularly important for large-scale projects, where margins of error must be minimized.
