Geotherm Inc

Description

Geotherm Inc., started out 28 years ago in Canada offering test instruments and services for the measurement and analysis of thermal parameters using state-of-the-art technology. These find applications in numerous fields where the knowledge of heat and mass transfer through natural as well as man-made materials is essential. The soil is of particular importance in view of the modern trend in utilizing the sub-surface for many purposes. Underground and submarine power cables, storage and containment of radioactive spent fuel, and the utilization of earth energy for space heating and cooling via ground-coupled heat pumps are prime examples where this knowledge of soil thermal properties is a must. As a result of pioneering work performed for the electrical industry in North America, Geotherm has developed test and measurement instruments, and the technology whereby results of a high degree of accuracy are obtained rapidly and economically. The practical applications are limitless because the test equipment is portable and ideally suited for field as well as laboratory use. In addition to route thermal surveys, laboratory testing and design of corrective thermal backfills for power cable projects, we offer engineering and consultation services in the field of distribution, overhead transmission as well as civil and construction aspects of tower and sub-station foundations. We have over 200 route thermal survey projects to our credit; including underground and submarine...
