GeoCon undertake geothermal desk studies (sometimes known as geothermal feasibility reports) for clients who are looking into the viability of ground source heat pump systems.
GeoCon’s Geotehrmal feasibility study provides details on the geology, mining activity, hydrogeology, groundwater flow patterns, groundwater levels, details of local water abstractions, approximate yields and the thermal properties of the underlying geology to give a complete geothermal desk study which provides advice and recommendations on the suitability of ground source heating as an option at the site.
Alternative system types require different levels of work, therefore GeoCon offer three seperate report types:
- Geothermal feasibility study – closed loop
- Geothermal feasibility study – open loop
- Geothermal feasibility study – horizontal
- Combined geothermal feasibility study
The above are generally applicable to verticle systems.
The seperate geothermal feasibility study for open and closed loops can be used when a client has an idea of which system he or she is going to use and wants clarification of the sites suitability.
The combined geothermal feasibility study is generally used when the client does not yet know which system type they intend on using but wants an indicaiton of a sites suitability for a ground source heating system
The information provided in one of Geocon’s geothermal feasibility studies can then be used in conjunction with additional information such as heat loss calculations and enery reports to facilitate the design of any subsequent borehole field.
GeoCon work together with partner organisations who concentrate on the installation and design of the heat pump itself. This means that we can provide our clients with a “one stop shop” on any ground source heat pump project.
