The 300 MW solar project in Bhanipura, Bikaner, is a key renewable energy initiative aimed at expanding India’s solar infrastructure. Given the challenging desert conditions, this project required a high-strength foundation solution to ensure the long-term stability and efficiency of the solar panels.
Challenges & Solutions
- Unstable, Sandy Soil: The project site had loose, shifting sand, which posed risks of foundation settlement and structural misalignment.
- Solution: SunTap used deep rammed foundations to secure the solar structures firmly in the shifting terrain.
- Extreme Weather Conditions: The region is prone to high winds, temperature fluctuations, and occasional sandstorms, requiring a foundation that can withstand harsh elements.
- Solution: SunTap engineered reinforced rammed piles, providing maximum wind resistance and long-term durability.
- Time-Sensitive Execution: The project needed to be completed within a strict deadline to meet energy production targets.
- Solution: Using advanced hydraulic piling machines, SunTap achieved rapid installation without compromising precision or strength.
