Preparation is key
The first step for every ground mount project is to conduct a risk analysis and determine which areas might be problematic in terms of the soil conditions. After that an efficient test plan has to be developed given the expected loads from the racking system and the number of test piles.
Pile Driving
The next step in the process is the pile driving according to the map and starting with the first embedment depth. From there on the embedment depends on the test results.
