Getting to the Root Cause
Whether it’s a construction phase issue or a problem that manifests itself after commissioning, you can draw on our expertise and decades of mutli-disciplinary experience in the renewables industry to get to the root cause (or causes) of the issue. We have assisted clients address issues like:
Forensic investigations and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) in renewable energy (wind and solar) failures,
Remediation of cold joints and concrete honeycombing,
Investigating mass concrete, concrete curing and mix design issues,
Investigating excessive heat of hydration issues and assessing potential occurrence of Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF),
Abnormal concrete cracking,
Lower than expected concrete cylinder break strength,
Excessive settlement and tilt,
Abnormal PV array pile movements (frost-heave, expansive materials, etc.), and
Unacceptable (out of spec) foundation performance.
