We offer customised solutions that impress with their technical excellence and innovative approaches. Put your trust in our expertise and quality for your sustainable energy projects.
Manufacturing
The majority of Form-Tec's products consist of cold-rolled steel profiles. The roll forming systems required for production form a wide variety of profile shapes from steel coils with sheet thicknesses of 1.5 to 4.0 mm over several stations with very high precision.
The company largely uses C- and U-shaped profiles for the assembly systems, which allow the tolerances of the terrain to be compensated for via continuous rows of holes and always allow screw connections to be made without drilling.
Root system
- Firm anchoring despite low penetration depth into the soil.
- Can be used up to a slope inclination of 40°.
- Can be completely reused - Ideal for open land and agricultural areas.
Ground-mounted system
- Photovoltaic systems on large fields or unused areas.
- High performance potential due to their dimensions compared to roof systems and other PV systems.
- Modular design enables customised adaptation to local conditions.
Carport system
- Flexible PV carport system with short assembly time.
- Available as a single, double or industrial version.
- Made from zinc-magnesium-coated quality steel.
Agri-PV system
- Dual land utilisation - combination of agriculture and energy production.
- Photovoltaic systems also offer protection against intense UV radiation.
- Sustainable and efficient land use.

Planning & construction
The planning of PV systems is complex and requires detailed preparation. In particular, the mounting system, the creation of customised drawings and detailed parts lists are crucial for the smooth installation of such projects.
Occupancy & pile-driving plans
This process includes the creation of occupancy and piling plans as well as the optimal utilisation of space and the consideration of individual requirements. It is important that the available space is utilised in an ideal way. Minimising investment costs while at the same time optimising output is our maxim for this service.
Static calculations
These calculations are essential to ensure the safety and durability of the systems. Our company always has the structural analyses for our projects prepared by external engineering companies whose static and civil engineers are registered as structural engineers. On request, we can also have our structural analyses checked and green stamped by accredited structural engineers. This fulfils the high demands placed on structural stability, whether required by the relevant building authority or simply as a private-law inspection.
Geological surveys
Geological surveys are an essential part of the planning phase. Among other things, they also include a chemical analysis of the soil composition and thus not only guarantee the stability of the selected foundation form, but also ensure a professional definition of the service life in terms of corrosion protection.
Extraction test
Determining the ground conditions and load-bearing capacity is an essential step in the planning and realisation of photovoltaic projects. Various methods and techniques are used to ensure that the subsoil fulfils the requirements and that the safety of the construction is guaranteed. The most important methods include pull-out tests, which help to determine the load-bearing capacity of the soil.
