SURVEYING
OVERVIEW
Surveying is used to complete various task at PRI Engineering. A topographic survey is the first step of any design program to establish the site boundary for design purposes. Gathering all the existing conditions information is critical to understand how the site looks and how a design moves forward. An accurate start during the topographic survey is critical as this information is used for both design and construction layout purposes.

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.
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.
