Prior to the opening of the construction site for a photovoltaic park are the conducting tests necessary for planning and design verify soil characteristics. We provide structural design services for industrial constructions and photovoltaic or hybrid parks (PV-Wind-with Storage) and geotechnical engineering services that include field investigations, studies, and geotechnical design. Our engineers perform traction and compression tests, by designing and building equipment adapted to the requirements of the beneficiaries.
Dambovita, Romania
Year : 2025
Scope of Work : Ramming, Pull-Out Test, Compression Test, Frost Heave Test, Water Saturation Test
Specifics : On a 330-hectare site in southern Romania, we conducted a comprehensive series of foundation tests to evaluate the soil’s capacity to safely support the structural loads of a 215 MW solar project. A total of 120 test points were strategically placed to analyze load distribution and soil behavior under various stress conditions.
The testing process involved different load applications: axial compression, axial tension, and lateral tension, with gradual, staged loading to measure displacement at each phase. For compression and tensile tests, we utilized a custom-designed structure by Parapet, which ensured precise load transmission and provided clearer, more reliable results in a controlled testing environment.

Scope of Work : Ramming, Pull-Out Test, Axial Compression, Axial & Lateral Traction, Frost Heave Test, Water Saturation Test, Continuous Flight Auger - CFA drilling
Specifics : The tests were performed on approximately 130 posts at various depths by ramming or drilling 400 mm diameter holes and filling them with concrete. In order to avoid using any type of anchoring machines during the tests, Parapet engineers designed an independent structure - "Reaction Beam" - that supposed 3D modeling in static calculation software, then modeling and detailing to obtain the drawings for the assembly. The structure was designed to carry up to 100 kN, without suffering important deformations. The engineers also simulated the freezing state of the ground around the post; tests were also conducted under conditions of water saturated soil.
