Deerfoot Solar Project
Engineering, design, testing, and commissioning of the 37 MW Deerfoot solar project located just south of Calgary, Alberta. Valard successfully designed and constructed a solar farm on this land without the need to penetrate the ground by adopting use of innovative ballast foundation technique, allowing the project developer to reclaim 99 hectares of fertilized wasteland that was otherwise unusable.
The scope of the project included full EPC and installation of 100,000 PV modules onto ~9,000 concrete ballast foundations and 2,000+ fixed tile tables.
