Measurements
We conduct measurements and analyze the bedrock and boreholes to ensure that all our geoenergy projects are of the highest quality. All measurements are performed using the latest industry technology.
Thermal Conductivity Test (TC Test)
The Thermal Conductivity Test (TC Test) is conducted to measure and analyze thermodynamic parameters in the bedrock and borehole. Using these parameters and information about the property's power and energy needs, we can simulate an appropriate borehole field, including the right number of boreholes and their depth.
TC Test, along with energy simulation, ensures that the boreholes are designed accurately. This helps us avoid unnecessary energy costs or the borehole field not being able to deliver the required energy.
When Rototec performs a TC Test, we first drill a test hole and install the loop in the borehole. We then connect the TC Test measurement instrument to the loop and conduct the measurement itself. This process typically takes five to seven days. Afterward, analysis and report writing take an additional one to two days. The test drilling provides valuable information about the characteristics of the rock and any difficulties encountered during drilling. The test hole can then be used as part of the future borehole field.
Borehole Measurements
To further ensure the quality of our geoenergy projects and installations, we also conduct measurements of the borehole fields. This includes straightness measurements to ensure that the boreholes' inclination and direction are correct.
The measurements also show temperatures and pressure drop and flow measurements for each borehole. Overall, this allows us to ensure that the drilling aligns with the project plan and that the results meet expectations.
Our Consulting Services
Consulting
At Rototec, we provide consultancy services in all phases of your geoenergy project. Our goal is to always offer our customers the most optimized systems that combine ground-source heating and cooling.
Preliminary Studies
In our feasibility studies, we analyze the suitability for drilling and installing geoenergy systems in a property or building. Here, we map out the specific energy needs of the objects and then provide a cost estimation.
Design and Engineering
We are experienced pioneers in the industry and can proudly title ourselves as the largest provider of geoenergy. Our engineering expertise caters to all types and sizes of ground-source heating and cooling installations.
Measurements
We conduct various types of measurements to ensure that our projects maintain the highest quality. We perform measurements of the bedrock and boreholes using the latest technology in the industry.
Energy Simulations
We ensure optimal sizing and operation using EED simulation. With IDA ICE, the property's energy consumption and technology are simulated to find the best solution for each property or building.
