Structural Engineering is essential for the proper design of turbines, foundations, and other elements for renewable energy projects.
SANDY, Utah – If your company develops industrial-scale renewables projects, consider Precision Systems Engineering for your engineering needs. We are a leading engineering and design consulting firm, with over 27 years of experience in power generation and transmission.
This is the third in a series of articles that details the services and capabilities we offer. If you missed the first two, they can be found online at pseutah.com.
Structural engineering is the selection of members and systems to ensure the structural adequacy of your project during extreme events. In other words, it’s making sure your project won’t fall down when the snow falls, the wind blows, and the earth quakes! Structural engineering is considered a subset of civil engineering, but it truly has a life of its own.
For solar farms, structural engineering includes sizing and design of the racking, panel support piping, and concrete foundation. For wind farms, this includes design of the blades, tower, and foundation. PSE will also design and engineer the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) building and any other associated outbuildings.
In addition to standard projects, our structural staff is fully equipped to handle more complex challenges. Our in-house structural toolset includes:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for complex structure geometries,
- Design and analysis of structural steel, concrete, and masonry buildings,
- Advanced dynamic analysis of structures under earthquake loading,
- … and more!
Additionally, between our own staff and our partnered firms, we have structural licenses available in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia!
We can be a strong partner for your structural engineering and design work, allowing you to focus your effort on your business’s own unique core competencies. If you are interested in working with us on upcoming renewables projects, please call 801-943-5555, and ask for Trevor – or reach out by email to tjones@pseutah.com.
