Check List
This page will give you an idea of how the process flows and at what point each element should be implemented
At what point does your geothermal consultant need to become involved? Quite simply, your Geothermal Consultant should be in place from the beginning of any Geothermal heating and cooling project to prevent the incorrect specification of parts, equipment and materials, incorrect drilling depths, inefficient placement of boreholes … in fact, to ensure that everything is completed to ensure that the project is not only successful and efficient but doesn’t suffer from some of the huge delays and costs incurred due to lack of knowledge.
Here is a simplified process of a Commercial Building Development
| Building Design Concept |
- |
Ideally this is where you should bring in your Geothermal Consultant. |
| Feasibility Process and Energy Strategy |
- |
Your Geothermal consultant should certainly be involved at this point. |
| Planning Granted |
- |
If it isn’t granted for any reason your scheme should be reassessed. |
| Main Contractor Appointed |
- |
The main contractor who will be sub-contracting the other specialist trades such as drillers. |
| Tender Process |
- |
Inviting tenders from specialist trades. |
| Demolition |
- |
If needed. |
| Re-Build |
- |
Sometimes we are called in at this point and often far too much money has been wasted and it’s difficult if not impossible to make changes. |
| Final Fit Out |
|
|
| Open for Business |

Initial Analysis to Completion and Maintenance From desktop feasibility studies, analysis and the management of diagnostic borehole drilling … right through to the design and project management of the construction of your entire geothermal heating & cooling system. Having the appropriate expertise and ability at your disposal will make everything far easier and smoother … and reduce stress levels.
Your exact needs and objectives will be explored and you’ll be given precise and accurate advice to allow you to make fully qualified decisions. When you’re ready to complete your energy strategy to get your planning approved LoopMaster will provide calculations in support of your planning application as to what savings (i.e 5.9% , 12% etc, ) you’ll make on carbon reduction or energy ‘renewables’ . It’s all about reduction of carbon usage and efficiency.
The most appropriate geothermal installation solution and equipment will be specified and, of course, we’ll ensure that the entire installation process is implemented to best practice. To ensure precise and correct execution at every stage, nothing will be left to chance, every step will be planned.
