In this session, Katelyn Petersburg will review the drainage design process for a typical BESS site and highlight how different stormwater strategies and existing site conditions affect grading and earthwork decisions. This webinar will draw from real-world project experience and provide insight into how civil engineers evaluate constraints, optimize site layouts, and adapt designs to meet project goals
Designing wind turbine foundations requires balancing structural integrity, geotechnical conditions, and economic constraints. This session provides a practical introduction to the foundational elements behind foundation design for utility-scale wind turbines. Attendees will learn how to translate turbine and site data into efficient, reliable foundation solutions that align with project-specific goals and constraints. Whether you’re new to wind energy or seeking a refresher on best practices, this webinar offers a comprehensive overview grounded in RRC’s deep field experience.
Frost jacking is a serious geotechnical challenge in cold regions, where seasonal freezing of soils can exert upward forces on piles, leading to costly damage in renewable energy infrastructure like solar farms. Traditional design approaches rely on adfreeze shear strength values from building codes, which are often overly conservative and not representative of site-specific conditions.
Optimizing energy yield in solar farms isn’t just about technology. It’s also about terrain. Sedimentation and detention ponds, while critical for erosion control and stormwater management, often reduce available land for PV arrays. This session explores how these features influence solar array layout, orientation, and system density and how to plan around them.
