Site Preparation and Development

​

Effective site grading and land development are essential for the optimal performance of solar systems. Our experienced engineers perform detailed assessments and implement best practices to prepare the land for installation.

• Topographic Analysis: We conduct comprehensive surveys to map the terrain, identifying slopes, drainage patterns, and any potential obstacles. This analysis is crucial for developing effective grading plans.

• Grading Plans: Our team designs customized grading plans that ensure proper drainage and soil stability, maximizing solar panel exposure and efficiency. We consider factors such as sunlight angles and seasonal weather patterns.

• Access Roads: We construct well-planned access roads to facilitate the movement of equipment and personnel during installation and maintenance. These roads are designed to minimize soil disturbance and prevent erosion.

Erosion Control and Drainage Solutions

​

Soil erosion can significantly impact site integrity and solar installation efficacy. JT&S employs a variety of erosion control measures to protect both the site and surrounding ecosystems.

• Silt Fencing: We install silt fences around the perimeter of the construction site to intercept sediment and prevent it from entering waterways during heavy rains.

• Bioswales: Our design includes bioswales, which are landscaped channels that help manage stormwater runoff. These features allow for natural filtration and groundwater recharge, reducing erosion and improving water quality.

• Vegetative Solutions: We use native plant species strategically placed to stabilize soil, reduce runoff, and enhance biodiversity. These plants are well-suited to local conditions and require minimal maintenance.

​

Compliance and Permitting

​

Navigating the regulatory landscape can be challenging. Our team at JT&S is well-versed in the complexities of environmental regulations and permitting processes, ensuring that your project meets all necessary guidelines.

• Regulatory Assessments: We perform thorough assessments to identify all relevant local, state, and federal regulations. This helps us ensure that your project aligns with environmental protection standards.

• Documentation Preparation: Our experts assist in preparing all necessary documentation for permitting, streamlining the approval process. We handle everything from permit applications to environmental assessments.

• Environmental Impact Studies: We conduct studies to evaluate potential impacts on local ecosystems, helping to identify mitigation strategies that minimize environmental disruption. These studies inform our project planning and design.

Commitment to Sustainable Solutions

​

At JT&S, we are committed to implementing sustainable practices in all our civil engineering services. Our goal is to create sites that not only support solar energy production but also enhance environmental health.

• Eco-Friendly Materials: We prioritize the use of sustainable materials in our site preparation and construction processes, reducing our overall environmental footprint.

• Resource Management: Our strategies include efficient management of resources, such as water and energy, throughout the project lifecycle. We aim to minimize waste and optimize the use of renewable resources.
