From Sample to Decision: The Importance of Field and Laboratory Work
In photovoltaic projects, every decision matters. From land selection to foundation definition, precise geotechnical analysis is key to ensuring structural stability, optimizing costs, and preventing long-term issues.
At Orbis Terrarum, we go beyond data and sample collection. Our integrated approach combines fieldwork and analysis in our laboratory in Madrid, transforming data into applied knowledge for strategic decision-making.
How do we do it?
Our technical team carries out in situ testing campaigns, collecting samples and performing key tests to assess the real conditions of the soil and structure.
Some of our services include:
- Geotechnical test pits and boreholes
- Dynamic Penetrometer with variable energy: Soil compaction
- Atmospheric corrosion studies (Wire on Bolt, metal specimens): Material durability
- Soil and water corrosion testing and assessment
- Measurement of thermal and electrical resistivity
- Detection of buried utilities using Ground Penetration Radar (GPR)
- Ramming & Pull Out Test: Evaluation of load-bearing capacity of metal posts
- Dynamic plate load testing: Soil bearing capacity
- Compaction and density control: Advanced methods for greater precision
A good analysis begins in the field but is perfected in the laboratory.
Our accredited Geotechnical Laboratory allows us to perform detailed studies in:
- Geotechnics: Soils, rocks, and aggressiveness of soils and waters on concrete.
- Atmospheric and soil corrosion of steel
Why does our work make a difference?
- Early identification of geotechnical risks to avoid cost overruns and delays
- Optimization of foundation design for stability and efficiency
- Reduction of uncertainty on-site, minimizing unforeseen issues
- Specialized analysis for strategic decision-making
With over 1,000 projects in 50 countries, we know that the key lies not only in testing but in interpretation. At Orbis Terrarum, we don’t just measure: we analyze, optimize, and transform information into real solutions.
