Corrosive Soils & Risk Mitigation for Solar Structures

Utility scale solar array construction projects continue to grow in number annually. Large open spaces with consistent UV exposure often make excellent locations for solar array fields, however these sites do not always provide ideal soil conditions for the steel H beam pile supports which are embedded into the ground.

Utility scale solar array construction projects continue to grow in number annually. Large open spaces with consistent UV exposure often make excellent locations for solar array fields, however these sites do not always provide ideal soil conditions for the steel H beam pile supports which are embedded into the ground. Corrosion of the steel H beam piles due to corrosive soils is a concern for design engineers and owners when working on large scale solar PV projects. Protective measures must provide sufficient length of service to protect H beams from corrosion and ultimately structural prevent failure for the facilities designed service life. Today’s high-performance coatings provide an excellent solution for protecting steel piles driven into corrosive soil conditions.
