Geotechnical Services for Solar Foundations
PRI Engineering specializes in geotechnical services for solar foundations – designed, engineered, and constructed to withstand the pressures of any climate, especially the cold regions in the Northeast United States and Canada.
Engineers Experienced in Cold Climate Design Considerations
Our personnel have been involved in the full project delivery including permitting and planning, preliminary/detail design, and construction inspections.
With hundreds’ successful pile designs for solar projects ranging in size from 0.12 MW to over 500 MW, PRI Engineering has the experience and expertise in solar foundations to reduce your project risk and prevent increased capital outlays from scope creep and construction delays.
Our Geotechnical Services for Solar Foundations
We offer competitive rates because we tailor our budget to your risk profile. No matter the project type, we develop a work program to meet your exact project needs to ensure you are not paying excessively for information you do not need. Our rates include access to our highly experienced core team of engineers, who bring expertise to every project.
Solar Foundation Design Development
We can work with any racking manufacturer in the United States and Canada to consider racking loads from a multitude of products. Once we have identified the racking induced loads, we develop site-specific parameters based on the geographical area of the project.
Geotechnical Investigation
Our unified geotechnical and structural engineering team provides an integrated foundation while considering racking design and constraints that can be further optimized via site-specific pile load testing programs at your request.
Our personnel’s involvement in the design of solar PV plants has included full design, QA/QC, peer reviews, Engineer of Record services, and acting as the Owner’s Engineer.
Construction QA/QC Analysis for Solar Foundations
Our expertise and experience ensures efficient construction Quality Analysis (QA) and Quality Control (QC) of your solar array foundations. When designing a solar foundation for cold climates, QA/QC ensures your project is built to last.
Production Testing
PRI Engineering is one of the few geotechnical engineering firms in North America offering both pre- and post-production testing. Production testing assures you that our initial analysis and design recommendations are of the highest quality and result in durable structures that last throughout their intended lifespan.
