PRODUCTION TESTING FOR SOLAR
OVERVIEW
PRI Engineering is one of the few geotechnical engineering firms in North America offering both pre- and post-production testing for solar foundation design. We provide comprehensive testing solutions to ensure that your solar foundation is of the highest quality and meets industry standards.
Our production testing services include load testing, dynamic testing, and static testing. We use advanced testing equipment and technology to accurately measure and analyze the performance of your solar foundation and identify any potential issues that may affect its integrity.
OUR PROCESS
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.
Production testing involves:
Verification of the solar foundation design
Troubleshooting of non-conforming piles
Testing deflection tolerances as required by the racking supplier
RELATED PRODUCTION TESTING FOR SOLAR SERVICES
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.
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.
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.
