-
Geotechnical Consulting
From desktop studies to full investigations and construction geotechnical observation, we provide expert geotechnical engineering support to make sure your wind or solar project is a success:
-
Foundation Design
Our foundation design practice covers the entire renewable energy space (wind, solar, storage and transmission) and spans the full specturm of foundation types and sizes. We design foundations for large six-megawatt land-based wind turbines (mills), as well as unique foundation systems for 85-kilowatt distributed wind generators.
-
Construction Observation
Our construction observation services are tailored to the specialized sectors of wind turbine and solar array foundation construction, where adherence to construction document specifications is paramount. We offer rigorous quality assurance and quality control services to ensure that the construction process, workmanship and materials align with the prescribed specifications and standards. By entrusting us with the foundation construction observation scope of your wind or solar project, you can be confident that the deiivered project foundations will comply with the specified QA/QC requirements.
-
Due Diligence
It is prudent for owners and developers to retain specialists to provide peer reviews of their projects and de-risk their investments. As independent engineers, we offer focused expertise in geotechnical and structural engineering. Our reviews do help identify high risk areas, as well as areas of value engineering opportunities.
-
Forensic Engineering
Sometimes, construction or operation of renewables energy assets encounters unexplained issues: concrete that is failing to gain the anticipated strength, unusual or excessive concrete cracking of wind turbine foundations that have just been poured, a wind turbine that is oscillating excessively, or any other issue out of a myriad of concerning outcome. This is when our two decades of engineering and construction experience is called upon to investigate while keeping an open mind and an impartial, science and data based approach..
-
Repairs and Retrofits
Our RR services are designed to diagnose foundation and structural problems and devise solutions. Whether it’s reinforcing aging foundations, addressing structural damage, or upgrading infrastructure to meet current standards, our team is equipped to handle all aspects of repairs and retrofits. This service ensures that our clients’ investments continue to yield maximum returns while contributing to a sustainable future.
-
Repowering and Life Extension
Renewable energy assets, such as wind and solar energy conversion installations, are pivotal in transitioning towards a sustainable future. However, as these assets age, their efficiency and performance can diminish, necessitating innovative solutions to maintain their productivity and extend their operational life. Our repowering and life extension services are designed to address these challenges, ensuring that renewable energy systems continue to deliver optimal results while maximizing their lifespan.
