Stantec Beacon™

Reducing environmental impact

Earthworks on a solar project can be a major unknown or estimated expense. The common result? More earth being disturbed than necessary and increased timeframes for construction. We believe the transition to a cleaner form of energy should be less impactful to the environment in every way.

With Stantec Beacon™, we can account for the tolerances at every pile, allowing us to cut the earthworks effort by up to 50 percent. This is a game changer for solar farms.

Stantec Beacon employs design criteria and inputs from the owner and multiple design packages to improve the grading surface of a solar facility by controlling tracker pile heights, which reduces cut and fill. This method provides a realistic and calculated proposed grading surface for the entire site.

Increase energy production and reduce construction costs

Stantec Beacon™ is a digital application that can decrease construction costs, reduce earthworks, and increase the energy production of solar farms.
