PV Project Report: Campo Scala (52MW)

Project Overview

CampoScala was a utility-scale PV project where our team was responsible for mechanical installation works. The initial awarded scope was 18 MW, which was completed successfully and obtained warranty approval from the manufacturer after completion.

Following the successful completion of our 18 MW scope, our team was awarded an additional 6 MW repair scope. This repair work was related to an area where the pile installation tolerance was outside the required limits, with deviations of more than 10 cm between the piles.

After discussions with the manufacturer, a technical solution was agreed in order to adapt the structure and complete the repair works properly.

This project is a strong example of our role as a PV mechanical installation and repair partner for EPC companies, especially when a project requires not only standard installation, but also technical problem-solving on site.

Scope of Work

Our main scope on CampoScala was the mechanical execution of an 18 MW utility-scale PV installation. The project required organized manpower, material handling, and coordination with the EPC and manufacturer requirements.

The scope included:

• Mechanical PV installation works

• Structure assembly

• Material handling

• Site logistics

• Coordination with project stakeholders

• Quality-focused installation

• Repair support for an additional 6 MW area

• Drilling and adaptation of the structure after manufacturer discussion

The combination of standard mechanical installation and later repair works made this project especially relevant from an execution perspective.

Manufacturer Warranty Approval

One of the most important results of the CampoScala project was that our completed 18 MW mechanical installation scope obtained warranty approval from the manufacturer.

This is an important point for EPC companies and project owners because manufacturer warranty approval depends on correct installation, alignment, tolerances, and compliance with the required technical standards.

In utility-scale PV construction, mechanical installation quality directly affects the long-term reliability of the structure. CampoScala demonstrates our ability to execute mechanical PV works in a way that meets the required standards after completion.

Additional 6 MW Repair Scope

After completing the original 18 MW scope, our team was awarded an additional 6 MW repair scope.

The repair area had a technical issue related to pile positioning. The piles had been installed with deviations of more than 10 cm between them, which created problems for the correct assembly of the structure.

This type of issue can seriously affect the mechanical installation process because PV mounting structures are designed according to specific tolerances. If the pile positions are outside the acceptable range, the structure cannot be assembled normally without an approved technical adjustment.

After discussion with the manufacturer, the agreed solution was to drill the structure in order to complete the installation properly and make the repair area buildable.

Problem and Solution

Problem

The additional 6 MW repair scope involved a section of the project where the pile installation had tolerance deviations of more than 10 cm. This made normal structure assembly difficult and required a technical solution before installation could continue.

Solution

Our team discussed the issue with the manufacturer and followed the approved approach to drill the structure where required. This allowed the installation to continue and made it possible to complete the repair scope despite the pile tolerance problems.

This repair work shows the importance of having an experienced PV mechanical installation and repair partner who can respond to real site issues, communicate with the manufacturer, and execute the approved solution correctly.

Machinery and Site Resources

The CampoScala project was completed using a focused machinery setup suitable for mechanical installation and repair works.

Machinery used on site included:

• 2 telehandlers

• 2 bobcats

The machinery was used for material handling, site movement, and supporting the mechanical installation teams during both the original 18 MW scope and the additional repair works.

Man-Hours and Execution

The project involved approximately 7,200 man-hours.

These man-hours covered the original mechanical installation works and the additional repair-related activities. The repair scope required careful execution because the team had to work around existing pile deviations and follow the technical solution agreed with the manufacturer.

For EPC companies, this type of experience is valuable because repair works often require more attention than standard installation. The team must understand the structure, the tolerances, the manufacturer’s requirements, and the practical limits of what can be corrected on site.

Health and Safety

No incidents were recorded during the CampoScala project.

This is an important result, especially considering that the project included both standard mechanical installation and repair works. Repair activities can involve additional complexity because the team is not always working under ideal installation conditions.

Maintaining safe execution while solving technical site issues is an important part of reliable PV project delivery.

Photos and Videos from the Project

Photos and videos from CampoScala can help show both the original mechanical installation works and the additional repair activities.

Recommended media to include:

• Mechanical structure assembly

• Completed 18 MW installation area

• Repair work on the additional 6 MW section

• Structure drilling works

• Telehandlers and bobcats operating on site

• Before-and-after photos of the repair section

• Manufacturer-related inspection or quality control moments, if available

  

Final Result

CampoScala was completed as an 18 MW mechanical PV installation project, followed by an additional 6 MW repair scope.

The original 18 MW completed by our team obtained manufacturer warranty approval after completion. This result demonstrated that our mechanical installation work met the required technical and quality standards.

The additional 6 MW repair scope further showed our ability to support EPC partners when projects require practical problem-solving. After identifying the issue with pile tolerance deviations above 10 cm, our team coordinated the solution with the manufacturer and executed the required structural drilling works to complete the installation.

For EPC companies looking for a reliable PV mechanical installation and repair partner, CampoScala is a strong example of quality-focused execution, manufacturer coordination, and technical repair capability on a utility-scale solar project.

Summary

CampoScala highlights our ability to deliver both standard mechanical PV installation and repair works under technical site constraints.

Key results:

• 18 MW initial mechanical installation scope

• Additional 6 MW repair scope awarded

• 7,200 man-hours delivered

• No HSE incidents recorded

• 2 telehandlers and 2 bobcats used on site

• Our 18 MW scope obtained manufacturer warranty approval after completion

• Repair works completed for an area with pile tolerance deviations above 10 cm

• Technical solution agreed with the manufacturer before drilling the structure

CampoScala reflects the value we bring as a PV execution partner: correct mechanical installation, practical repair solutions, manufacturer coordination, and reliable support for EPC companies when site conditions are not straightforward.
