NOBLESFONTEIN WIND FARM INVESTIGATION OF FOUNDING CONDITIONS

We provided geotechnical engineering services for the Noblesfontein wind farm.

The investigation of founding conditions for the wind-turbine generators entailed undertaking rotary core drilling at 23 of the sites, in addition to comprehensive rock strength testing on the cores.

Trail pitting and representative sampling and testing of the materials were undertaken for the access roads.

Geotechnical investigations were also undertaken for borrow pits and a rock quarry.
