SPP's in-house construction management drew
upon over thirty years of experience with a
variety of construction methods to solve the
technical obstacles. With EPC partner Premier
Power, the solar structures were designed to
be dimensionally stable without causing differential
settlement. Geotechnical engineering firm Questa
Engineering contributed a controlled-density
fill (CDF) sub-foundation to control the spread
of weight.
The iconic system is a visually stunning example
of partnership between public and private entities.
The system was built in just four months after
engineering challenges were solved, and the
result is an industry award-winning system
that generates fixed-price solar power for
twenty or more years.
Project News
The US EPA has profiled the West County Wastewater
District on its website. The system is one
of five projects highlighted under the EPA's Renewable
Energy Electricity Generation Facilities and
the only one completed with a private solar
power developer in the category.
