Build on a Solid Foundation!

At CRI, we are partner with our clients to achieve success by building on a solid foundation for their renewable energy projects. Those projects are typically utility-scale wind farms and solar parks. We rely on our strong academics, proven geotechnical and structural design expertise and rich experience in the renewable energy industry to deliver reliable performance. We are a Colorado-based civil engineering consulting firm focused on the North American market, but we have an international footprint of partners and projects. Our services include:

• Geotechnical engineering consulting,

• Reliable, practical and optimized foundation solutions to support wind turbine towers, solar tracker structures, transmission line structures, electrical storage units and substation equipment,

• Construction QA/QC observation, and

• Forensics consulting.

Civil Renewables offers a few critical value-adds that distinguish us:

• We pioneered the round gravity-base foundation for wind turbines that is now standard practice for the industry.

• We helped define the direction of design standards in the United States.

• We perform advanced finite element analysis and design calculations.

• We perform cutting-edge reliability-based design.

• We have extensive geotechnical experience that allows us to provide valuable geohazard risk assessments at any stage of project development.

Our staff has designed foundations for hundreds of wind farms and solar parks across the United States and Canada, covering all conceivable geotechnical settings. For many of those projects, they ensured construction QA/QC compliance through shop drawings review, RFI support, review of construction QA/QC logs and site visits. We have designed all types of foundations:

• For large wind turbine support structures, we have designed spread “gravity-based” foundations, rock-anchored foundations, deep foundations, and proprietary foundations systems.

• For small wind or distributed systems, we have developed and designed proprietary foundation systems for budding original equipment manufacturers.

• For solar power parks, we have developed pile test programs and designed driven piles, helical piles, ballast foundations and other proprietary systems.

Over decades of practice, we have built a reputation for quality, reliability and expertise. Our clients include owners, developers, utilities, EPCs, sub-contractors and consultants. Our company has been reviewed and verified by ISNetworld.
