Soil Thermal Resistivity Testing and Saving for Clients
Soil thermal resistivity testing or soil thermal conductivity testing is a relatively new field and as such little is known about how some soils can react and the implications it may have on infrastructure. It is obvious that soil thermal resistivity testing can have significant savings in not only the cable sizing but also the amperage or […]
Soil thermal resistivity testing and underground Power lines
Soil thermal resistivity testing for underground power cables Knowing the soil thermal conductivity can help with the power load on underground power cables. Recently, Victoria had large bush fires that caused loss of life and millions of dollars of damage to homes and the states infrastructure. It has been reported that some of the fires […]
Soil properties to determine soil thermal resistivity
Soil thermal resistivity is determined by three basic things soil particles, water and air All soils are different so what makes up soil and how are they effecting soil thermal properties Soil usually consists of three basic constituents. 1. Solids In soil, solids can be anything from a clay particle to a gravel piece. Every […]
Soil thermal conductivity
Knowing this about soil can help save your underground power line problems As you would all agree that soil thermal conductivity is a relatively new field. We have guides of cause but in relative terms to other sciences it is in its infancy. The more I read what is written the longer and more confusing […]
