Krinner Schraubfundametne GmbH, the expert of modern foundation construction for photovoltaic solutions As a pioneer of modern systems of foundation construction, we offer competence in development, quality and reliability. For over 10 years KRINNER has been developing innovative system for time- and costsaving foundation groundwork as innovation is our critical factor. Worldwide we had install more than 250 MWp fixed and tracked photovoltaic systems with Krinner groundscrews. The modern foundation construction with the special-purpose developed construction machinery for foundations is worldwide established for efficient and cost-saving construction of solar power plant. The company has developed special foundations and large-scale foundations for all established photovoltaic tracking systems. Advantages of KRINNER screw foundations, in addition to time- and cost-savings, include: - High compressive loads, extraction load and lateral pressure loads, with verification in structural calculations - No digging and no concrete - Environmentally friendly because the soil is not sealed over a wide area - No damage to the surrounding area - No negative impact on the landscape - No waiting times: can be subjected to loads immediately! - High installation capacities with special-purpose machinery for foundation construction - Special foundations for extra-deep foundation groundwork - Fast and inexpensive to dismatle, with the site being left in its original state - No costs for disposing of foundations which have become unusable - Long lifetime The catalog of criteria issued by the UVS (Unternehmensvereinigung Solarwirtschaft / German Solar industry Association) and Nabu (Naturschutzbund Deutschland / German Society for Nature Conservation) recommens a whole range of environmental details that should be taken into account. For example, it is recommended that no more than 5% of the surface of the site, including the building, should be sealed. The sealed surface in solar parcs/fields with screw foundations amounts to less than 0.5% sealed surface. This is a key criteria for conservationists when it comes to planning permission. With our foundations your project will meet the requirements for compatibility with nature protection.
