The Journey

Equipped with advanced soil and thermal resistivity technology, we navigated the challenging terrain of Hermosa. Our mission was clear: to gather accurate data that could inform the design of solar foundations in this difficult environment. Despite the challenges posed by the region's soft soils and high water table, our determination remained unwavering.

Key Insights

• Very Soft Soils: The soft soils in Hermosa presented a significant challenge, but our advanced technology allowed us to gather accurate data.

• Data Scarcity: The lack of extensive previous studies meant we were exploring largely uncharted territory.

• Survey Challenges: The high water table added another layer of complexity to our mission.

• Innovative Solutions: One of the most valuable lessons from this project was the effectiveness of our advanced equipment in overcoming the challenges posed by the difficult soil conditions.
