Client Confidentiality

Due to client NDA commitments, the showcased projects represent only a portion of our work and not the full scope of what we've delivered.

Challenge

The brief, and the constraint.

The client needed structural verification for a commercial PV field, including racking, wind uplift, foundation reactions and cable-routing coordination before permitting.

Approach

How we engineered it.

We checked PV racking reactions against ASCE 7 wind cases, reviewed pile/foundation capacity, coordinated inverter pad layouts, and issued permit-ready structural markups with load summaries.

Result

What shipped.

Foundation loads were verified and the PV package moved into permitting with a clean structural basis, avoiding late racking redesign during procurement.

“Solar structures look repetitive until wind uplift finds the weak support line. We verify racking and foundation reactions before procurement locks the site into an expensive redesign.”
