During the months of December 2020 and January 2021 IPMA CONSULTORIA has performed the related works corresponding to Pull Out Test for a Photovoltaic Solar Plant in Tangier, Morocco.

For this purpose, a field work campaign was designed based on:

• Direct pile Ramming
• Predrill pile Ramming
• Pull Out Test
• Shear test

Following the completion of the field campaign, several drawings have been developed that graphically show the results obtained.

These extrapolations allow the client to obtain a global idea of the behavior of his structure within the site and, in addition, show the problem areas:

In the following example, it can be recognized how, the central-eastern area of the plot shows a higher point resistance when direct driving is performed:

Since July 2018 and throughout 2019 IPMA has carried out large geophysical works for feasibility studies and material characterization corresponding to 14 large photovoltaic projects in different locations in Japan.

In this way, IPMA Consultoría strengthens its position in Japan as a collaborating company for the provision of consulting services in geological – geotechnical engineering.

For the development of these jobs IPMA has used the new geophysics equipment acquired: ENIGINEERING SEISMOGRAPH MOD. GEODE-24 OF 24 REGISTRATION CHANNELS

During the month of March, IPMA has developed the corresponding studies to determine the viability of the foundation by ramming of 12 photovoltaic projects located in the south of the island of Taiwan.

IPMA is again selected as a service provider of geology and geotechnics services in Spain, this time our company has developed the work for geotechnical characterization and Pull Out Test) for a new Photovoltaic project of reference worldwide, with an estimated power of 550 MW.

During the months of November and December of 2017, IPMA has developed the works corresponding to the geotechnical study and pull out test for a Photovoltaic Solar Plant with an approximate power of 500 MW and which will occupy an area of about 1,100 hectares, which will convert it into a of the largest installations of this type in Europe and in the world.

In this way, IPMA consolidates as a reference for the provision of technical geology and geotechnical services for the photovoltaic sector.

During October 2017, IPMA has performed the related works with pull out test for photovoltaic solar plant in Murcia (Spain). In order to get it, our team designed a field-works campaign based on:

• Pulling out test.
• Horizontal pressure test.
• Results and recommendations.

During August 2017, IPMA has performed the related works with geotechnical study for a photovoltaic solar plant in Yamagata. In order to get it, our team designed a field-works campaign based on:

• Geological and Geomorphological context.
• Hydrogeology.
• Geological Cartography.
• Geotechnical characteristics of the terrain.
• Foundations recommendations.
• Thermal resistivity.

RAMMING POLE TEST FOR A PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR PLANT IN ROME (ITALY)

During July 2017, IPMA has performed the related works with pole test for photovoltaic solar plant in Rome (Italy). In order to get it, our team designed a field-works campaign based on:

• Pulling out test.
• Horizontal pressure test.

During May 2017, IPMA has performed the related works with geotechnical study for a photovoltaic solar plant in Sao Paulo State. In order to get it, our team designed a field-works campaign based on:

• Geological and Geomorphological context.
• Hydrogeology.
• Geological Cartography.
• Geotechnical characteristics of the terrain.
• Foundations recommendations.
• Thermal resistivity.

During March 2017, IPMA has performed the related works with pole test for photovoltaic solar plant in Sardina (Italy). In order to get it, our team designed a field-works campaign based on:

• Pulling out test.
• Horizontal pressure test.
