  • PV Foundation Risk Abatement Services
    AquaSoli

    Owners, investors, and insurers can reduce exposure to foundation failure risk or implement cost effective failure abatement. Aquasoli’s risk assessment and mitigation strategies can save thousands on the dollar over failure remediation. We can screen a single PV facility or an entire portfolio for hidden liability.

    The cost and time pressures inherent in PV projects often interfere with deploying proven reliable foundation technologies. Geotechnical consultants with deep and solar specific experience are rare. Consequently ground mount PV projects and facilities can hide latent foundation failure risk. The cost of remediating foundation failure is many times the cost of risk assessment and abatement: millions versus thousands of dollars.

    To secure profit and long-term reliability, our phased approach starts with risk screening and ends at the abatement level required for satisfactory mitigation. This approach optimizes risk reduction for each dollar spent...

    Pre-Site Assessment
    Fast and accurate pre-site assessment vetting reduces investment risk and project development costs by aiding early go/no go decisions. Starting with just an address, AquaSoli analyzes remote site data and provides first order foundation, layout and site designs with estimates for production capacity and development costs.


    Permit-Ready Site Assessment
    Third party review of permit-ready sites characterizes investment value. Existing design studies are evaluated and pertinent data is leveraged to prepare independent conceptual design and estimates. Quantified findings are used to verify vendor claims.
