Project features

Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC (“Masdar”) has been prequalified to undertake the development, financing, construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance of a 300MW Solar PV project with a capacity 75 MW/75MWh BESS. As a part of the project development stage, Masdar contracted Juru to conduct engineering surveys including solar measurement campaign, geotechnical investigations, topographical surveys, hydrological studies and pull-out tests for the proposed area.

Services provided

• Conduct solar measurement campaign and data collection for 12 months by installing  automatic weather stations including a 3m height- tower with wind sensors and a PV module
  
• Deliver monthly reports in accordance with IEC 61724-1 :2017 standards that covers bankable measurement data with 99.5% accuracy and data analysis of global & reflected horizontal irradiance, ambient temperature and relative humidity.
• Carry out geotechnical investigations with a total of 29 boreholes (4 meters depth) and 10 trials pits (3 meters depth) and conduct other field tests.
• Submit a Geotechnical Report with recommendations for designing PV area.  
• Perform a detailed topographical survey within a combined 575-hectare area including access roads and transmission lines using Unmanned Aerial drones adhering to specified grid mesh requirements.
• Develop a hydrology study report, encompassing flood risk assessment, drainage design recommendations, and mitigation strategies based on detailed analysis of site-specific conditions and historical flood data including flood level of 100-year (1% AEP), 50-year (2% AEP), 25-year (4% AEP) and 10-year (10%AEP). 
• Conduct 40 pull-out tests with 4-meter piles in accordance with the procedures as described in the ASTM Standards, making use of a backhoe and a dynamometer.
• Perform the different tests on the same pile in the following strict sequence: Lateral load test, Compressive / Tension test
