Space Saving

It is a fact that most existing homes do not have the land mass-space requirement to install a conventional horizontal loop. These same homes in a lot of cases do not have the access for drilling or boring as mature trees and ornamental landscape covers most of these properties.

The few homes that are candidates are going to pay a premium based on the initial costs for the loop, the associated costs to provide the necessary access as well as the final costs to restore the yard to its previous glory. For a lot of people costs alone is enough reason not to consider Geothermal as the payback period can double when the final cost comes to light.

For others the mere thought of having their yard devastated is something they are not willing to consider no matter what the savings. For these reasons alone Geothermal has had a limited market base and will continue to be limited to new construction and a select few existing homes.

HyperLoop is currently testing and addressing those issues as the compact and prefabricated nature of HyperLoops would greatly reduce loop build and installation time, excavation or drilling costs, related damage to lot surfaces and underground obstacles, shipping costs, site-specific engineering costs, and general loop size requirements.

With conventional excavation techniques there is a 35% to 40% reduction in trench length alone when comparing ton to ton sizing requirements for HyperLoop to traditional loop piping. Where conventional excavation is not an option due to space constraints HyperLoop will be a perfect fit with its ability to be installed with a modified trencher.

HyperLoop technology is at the right place at the right time as renewable energy is at the forefront of the current administrations agenda to take a lead role in green renewable energy. The United States is poised to become a global leader in green technology and HyperLoop is certainly poised to take its role as well.
