Renewable Energy Infrastructure
What is Renewable Energy Infrastructure?
Renewable energy infrastructure includes wind turbines, solar farms, substations, and associated utility corridors. These systems require stable foundations and resilient ground conditions to maintain safe, efficient energy generation and long-term performance.
Challenges in Renewable Energy Infrastructure
- Settlement beneath wind turbine foundations and solar arrays
- Soil instability threatening substations and utility corridors
- Groundwater infiltration weakening below-grade facilities
- Erosion and void formation caused by weather and site drainage
- High costs and energy disruptions from traditional repair methods
Types of Polymers Used
High-Density Polyurethane Foams
- Expands to fill voids beneath foundations and slabs
- Provides lightweight reinforcement without adding load
- Cures quickly to minimize business interruption
Structural Polyurethane Resins
- Strengthens soils supporting commercial structures
- Provides rigid reinforcement for pavements and parking areas
- Extends the service life of retail and office assets
Hydro-Insensitive Polymers
- Expands and cures in wet or saturated soils
- Blocks groundwater infiltration in below-grade structures
- Maintains performance in challenging site conditions
Benefits of Renewable Energy Infrastructure Solutions
Trenchless polymer injection strengthens soils and restores support for renewable energy systems. These solutions reduce downtime, protect against settlement, and extend the life of wind, solar, and utility assets.
Stable Foundations for Long-Term Energy Performance
- Stabilizes foundations for wind and solar installations
- Prevents settlement and soil-related damage
- Minimizes downtime with non-disruptive trenchless application
- Provides durable protection in challenging site conditions
