Quichapa 12 MW Solar Sites 1, 2, and 3

These three solar projects consisted of separate photovoltaic tracking power generation sites located west of Cedar City, UT. The sites are 74, 40, and 38 acres respectively, with individual power communications and switch yards.

Due to the conditional use permit restrictions on each site, Watson Engineering’s existing relationships with local municipalities were helpful in moving the project forward. Our knowledge and research of local ordinances and the building permit approval process, as well as our relationship with the local jurisdiction, ensured an efficient approval process.

Quichapa 12 MW Solar Sites 1, 2, and 3
Iron County, UT

Watson Engineering Company provided civil engineering and land surveying services for three separate solar sites totaling 12 MW. To complete the projects on time, we needed to drive over 150 piles per day, and were initially unsure that Watson would be able to meet that pace. Watson exceeded our expectations, completing the pile driving weeks before expected. Due to the conditional use permit restrictions on each site, Watson Engineering’s knowledge and research of local ordinances and the building permit approval process, as well as their relationships with the local jurisdictions, ensured an efficient approval process. I highly recommend Watson Engineering Company.
