Geothermal Inspection Services
Planeterra provides independent oversight to ensure geothermal installations match design specifications. We represent the project owner on-site to verify technical details and procedural steps throughout the installation process.
Core Inspection Services
Borehole Verification
We check borehole locations and depths against the project specifications to confirm they meet the required design specifications.
Grouting Procedures
We observe grout mixing, volumes, and installation to confirm the loop is sealed correctly from bottom to top for proper thermal transfer.
Loop System Testing
We oversee pressure testing for all piping networks. Our team checks fusion integrity and circuit functionality to confirm the system is leak-free before and after installation.
Final Verification & Certification
We observe the backfilling and compaction of trenches. Once testing is complete, our engineers provide a signed certification that the installation meets the contract documents.
Startup & Commissioning
We observe functionality testing for heat pumps and circulator pumps, review operational data, and assist with the technical handover of the system.
Project Oversight (Level 3)
For large-scale projects, we provide a structured inspection process to track the installation from start to finish. This includes:
Daily Monitoring
Tracking drilling, loop deployment, and grouting.
Reporting
Providing daily field reports and managing quality control data, such as grout conductivity.
Final Documentation
Issuing a Registered Professional Engineer Certification and an affidavit of proper operation.
