Site Investigation | Ground Bearing Capacity Evaluation and Optimal Foundation Selection to Prevent Uneven Load in Factory Energy Storage Containers
Prevent sinking due to uneven loading of factory storage containers! Directly measure shallow soil bearing capacity through plate load testing and reduce excessive reinforcement costs with optimal direct foundation assessment.
The container-type storage batteries installed on the factory premises are prone to uneven loading due to the irregular arrangement of internal equipment, which can lead to localized ground subsidence and the tilting of equipment. The ground bearing capacity evaluation solution provided by Geotech precisely measures the original allowable bearing capacity and ground reaction coefficient of shallow ground by conducting plate load tests at the actual foundation pressure surface level. Simplified sounding surveys realistically visualize the ground strength, which tends to be biased towards safety, as objective numerical data, scientifically determining the feasibility of adopting optimal direct foundations while avoiding excessive deep piles or ground improvement work. With strict multi-stage loading data and settlement analysis simulations compliant with geotechnical engineering standards, building confirmation applications and structural compatibility assessments can be processed smoothly without delays. Utilizing our highly qualified staff with extensive practical experience and our proprietary database "GEODAS," we provide comprehensive support for the installation plan of storage batteries that simultaneously ensures safety and significantly reduces construction costs.
basic information
This survey service conducts plate load tests in accordance with the Geotechnical Engineering Society standard JGS1521. Using a steel loading plate with a diameter of 300mm, hydraulic jacks, and high-precision displacement gauges, we perform multi-stage loading and unloading with more than five stages. We directly calculate the ultimate bearing capacity beneath the loading plate, long-term and short-term allowable bearing capacities, as well as the ground reaction coefficient (K value) and deformation modulus (E value). The testing equipment utilizes the weight of hydraulic backhoes and other machinery as loading reaction, and the amount of settlement is measured with millimeter precision using an automatic recording system on-site. A qualified professional (such as a geological survey technician) analyzes the data, and a detailed ground assessment report is prepared and delivered under quality control based on ISO 9001 certification.

Applications/Examples of results
It is optimal for evaluating the foundation ground when installing container-type storage batteries (industrial stationary storage systems) within factory or business premises. It can be used for addressing uneven load issues associated with battery expansion, determining the allowable ground pressure for floor slabs and direct foundations, and pre-verifying the risk of differential settlement. Additionally, it is effective as a second opinion survey aimed at reducing construction costs and shortening construction periods by avoiding excessive piling and deep ground improvement. It broadly supports ground diagnosis when repurposing outdoor vacant spaces or parking lots within existing factory sites, as well as submitting structural calculation evidence to designated inspection agencies for the safe construction of industrial energy facilities.
