Ground Investigation | Re-evaluation of the Cost of Ground Bearing Capacity Assessment to Prevent Uneven Loading of Factory Energy Storage Containers

Prevent uneven loading of battery storage containers! Thoroughly review excessive reinforcement work with a second opinion on ground bearing capacity evaluation to maintain safety and significantly reduce construction costs.

The introduction of container-type storage batteries to factory sites is progressing, but it is prone to uneven loading due to the consolidation of internal equipment, and cases where expensive steel pipe piles or deep ground improvement are specified due to excessive safety factor assumptions are not uncommon. Geotech provides a second opinion service on other companies' surveys and simple penetration data, conducting precise ground bearing capacity reassessments based on plate load tests on the foundation bearing surface. By directly calculating the true allowable bearing capacity and ground reaction coefficient of shallow ground from multi-stage loading data on the actual pressure surface, we scientifically verify the risk of differential settlement under uneven loading. By presenting objective physical evidence, we eliminate unnecessary reinforcement work specifications and demonstrate the validity of changing to direct foundation specifications such as mat foundations. This significantly reduces unnecessary foundation reinforcement costs and piling processes, optimizing capital investment costs and enabling early operational commencement. High-quality reports that comply with public standards also facilitate smooth approval of confirmation applications, achieving a high level of both economic efficiency and safety.
