Project Description

Travers Solar is a 465 MW utility-scale solar power project near Lomond, Alberta. At the time of completion, it was Canada’s largest photovoltaic power station.

TULLOCH provided surveying, mapping, engineering, and field support to help establish reliable site control, document existing conditions, and prepare technical information for design and construction. Our work included LiDAR and aerial imagery, topographic feature identification, legal boundary retracement, buried utilities investigation, and engineering base plan development.

TULLOCH also supported the solar foundation program through pile foundation and adapter design, along with load verification testing to confirm foundation performance and provide technical input for construction.
