Description

Description

This project focuses on mitigating sub-surface risks before the construction phase of utility-scale solar arrays to prevent cost escalation and delays, and to maximize productivity over the lifespan of the solar arrays. It involves selecting appropriate foundation types such as driven piles, ground screws, or ballasts based on site-specific geotechnical and environmental factors, and conducting soil assessments including geotechnical reports and pull-out tests to address risks like refusals, frost heave, and corrosion.
