RENEWABLE ENERGY

INFRASTRUCTURE BENEATH THE PROJECT.

Utility-scale renewable energy projects require extensive underground infrastructure connecting the systems that make the site operate.

Rock Ridge provides underground construction, cable placement, communications infrastructure and civil support for large-scale renewable energy developments.

Our experience combines high-production field construction with the planning, coordination and adaptability required across large project sites.

UNDERGROUND POWER & COMMUNICATIONS

Construction methods are selected around system design, soil and geological conditions, installation requirements, existing infrastructure and production objectives.

Capabilities include:

Medium-voltage cable placement
Fiber optic cable placement
Underground conduit systems
Excavation and trenching
Vibratory plowing
Directional drilling
Road and utility crossings
Handholes, vaults and related underground structures
Communications pathways
Supporting civil construction

MULTIPLE METHODS.ONE CONSTRUCTION PLAN.

Large renewable energy sites rarely rely on a single installation method.

Open areas may support high-production plowing or excavation while roads, drainage features, existing utilities and other obstacles may require HDD or alternative construction methods.

Rock Ridge can coordinate:

PLOWING
EXCAVATION
TRENCHING
HDD
CABLE PLACEMENT
FIBER
CIVIL

The objective is to build the project around the most effective method for each condition rather than forcing one construction method across the entire site.

BUILT FOR HIGH-PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS

Large energy projects require more than individual crews producing footage.

Equipment, personnel, materials, access, sequencing, documentation and production targets must remain coordinated across a changing work environment.

Rock Ridge's field experience informs how those resources are planned and deployed—and how the plan is adjusted when actual conditions differ from what was anticipated.

PLAN THE WORK. WORK THE PLAN.

UTILITY-SCALE RENEWABLE ENERGY

Rock Ridge personnel supported underground power and communications infrastructure on a large renewable energy development.

180,000LFMedium-Voltage Cable Installation

300,000LFFiber Optic Cable Installation

The work required high-volume underground installation across a large project footprint while coordinating production, equipment, access and changing field conditions.

Project and customer identification withheld in accordance with confidentiality requirements.

BUILD THE PLAN AROUND THE PROJECT.

Every renewable energy site presents a different combination of production requirements, terrain, geology, access, crossings and schedule constraints.

Send Rock Ridge the scope, drawings and schedule.

We'll evaluate the construction conditions and resources required to develop an executable approach.
