Overcoming concerns regarding wind uplift and sloping ground conditions, the area of land where the ground-mounted solar system was positioned is subject to high winds funnelling down the site and variable ground levels.

RADIX was appointed to complete a full site appraisal including tensile static load testing and a quick turnaround of a full design package. On completion of design a full tender submission was provided for consideration. Upon approval RADIX was instructed to progress with the supply and installation of our ground screw foundations including our 2inP RADIX SolarMount racking system as a turnkey system.
