This tender seeks a qualified contractor to conduct a geotechnical investigation for a hybrid solar photovoltaic system. The work will assess soil conditions and inform the design and installation of the solar infrastructure.
The National Research Foundation is inviting proposals for a geotechnical investigation essential for the successful implementation of a hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV) system at the NRF-SAAO facility in Cape Town. This investigation will involve detailed soil analysis to determine the geotechnical properties of the site, which is critical for ensuring the structural integrity and optimal performance of the solar PV installation. The contractor will be required to conduct borehole drilling, soil sampling, and laboratory testing, followed by a comprehensive report detailing findings and recommendations.
The selected contractor will play a vital role in the project, as the results of the geotechnical investigation will directly influence the design parameters and installation methods of the solar PV system. It is essential that bidders have experience in similar investigations and possess the necessary certifications and equipment to carry out the work. This project not only supports the NRF's commitment to renewable energy but also contributes to sustainable development goals by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon footprints in the region.
This tender is suitable for civil engineering firms, geotechnical consultants, and environmental assessment companies with expertise in soil analysis and renewable energy projects. Businesses with a proven track record in conducting geotechnical investigations for solar installations are particularly encouraged to apply.
