Site Investigation | Ground Bearing Capacity Assessment and Structural Review Compliance to Prevent Uneven Load on Factory Energy Storage Containers

Prevent uneven loading of factory storage containers! Conducted a plate load test to empirically evaluate the ground reaction coefficient, smoothly passing structural review with a direct foundation that eliminates excessive reinforcement.

The introduction of container-type storage batteries on factory premises raises concerns about uneven loading due to internal weight discrepancies. Therefore, if strict ground bearing capacity evidence cannot be presented in building confirmation applications or structural suitability assessments, it may lead to deficiencies or delays in procedures. The ground bearing capacity evaluation service provided by Geotech conducts plate load tests in accordance with the Japan Geotechnical Society standards (JGS1521) at the foundation bearing surface, directly measuring ultimate bearing capacity, short-term and long-term allowable bearing capacity, as well as ground reaction coefficients. By reflecting high-precision measured mechanical parameters, which do not rely on estimation formulas, into structural calculations, we demonstrate safe designs that preemptively avoid the risk of differential settlement under uneven loading. By presenting scientific ground bearing capacity data, we can eliminate unnecessary deep pile driving and ground improvement work specifications, enabling the adoption of optimal foundations such as mat foundations, thus reducing construction costs and timelines. With high-quality assessment reports fully compliant with public standards, we can promptly respond to inquiries from inspection agencies and smoothly support the scheduled start of operations for the storage system.
