Arche Solar Energy

Mosser’s scope of work on this project involved preparing the site for solar panel installation by establishing the necessary infrastructure and leveling the ground. This included excavating stormwater ponds to create borrow pits and preparing aggregate pads for essential components such as a small substation and multiple inverter pads across the site.

The project required moving nearly 400,000 cubic yards of earth during challenging winter conditions. Understanding the unpredictability of the weather, Mosser’s team strategically leveraged favorable conditions. On days with good weather, the focus was on earthmoving, with the team often working 12-14 hour shifts. To ensure safety during shorter daylight hours, multiple light plants were deployed. On less favorable days, the focus shifted to aggregate base work to prevent equipment from working on over-saturated soil. This flexible approach allowed Mosser’s team to continue working while other contractors were forced to stop due to adverse weather.

By effectively managing the weather and adapting to the conditions, Mosser was able to complete the work nearly three months ahead of schedule. The team’s ability to stay on track not only benefited the timeline but also supported other contractors. By completing work ahead of time, Mosser created areas for solar panel installation, allowing other subcontractors to begin work in more favorable conditions. This proactive planning and early completion helped ensure a smooth transition to the next phases of the project.
