Solar Foundation Systems We Install in Alabama

Solar Farm Pile Testing Alabama — Solar Farm Pile Testing

We select the system around stratigraphy, corrosion exposure, uplift/lateral demand, and constructability:

Pipe piles (ASTM A252 Grade 3, ~50 ksi yield) for high capacity and bending resistance.
H-beam / I-beam piles (ASTM A992) for tracker rows and lateral stiffness.
Helical piers (ICC-ES AC358) for sands/organics and torque-verified installations.
Concrete piers (ALDOT Class AA ~4,000–5,000 psi) for permanent heavy-duty support.
Sheet piles (ASTM A572 Grade 50) for slope/erosion control and site stabilization.

Steel protection per ASTM A123 (hot-dip galvanizing) and coatings are specified as needed to achieve a 25–30 year service life, consistent with U.S. DOE and NREL guidance.

Alabama Site Conditions We Address

Expansive clays with shrink/swell behavior (central AL).
Variable rock strata and shallow refusal (north AL).
Sandy loams and high groundwater in the coastal plain (south AL).
Design wind speeds up to ~150 mph per ASCE 7-22.

Typical embedment depths are 8–12 ft (project-specific) with torque monitoring or test piles to verify capacity; documentation is provided to ASTM/ALDOT expectations.
