US Army Corps of Engineers
Pivot was chosen by the US Army Corps of Engineers to install a $2.6 million clean energy project at Fort Riley, Kansas, near Kansas City.
The project involves multiple renewable energy technologies, including 510 kilowatts (kW) of solar panels covering the roof and structures for the parking lot, 5 vertical axis wind turbines around the perimeter of the building, and electric vehicle charging stations. The installations are part of a new "net-zero-energy" Brigade Headquarters project, which is meant to serve as a model for future new construction at Army facilities.
Design Challenges
During coordination meetings, it became apparent that the project was incompletely specified and several design elements of the site plan were incompatible with the solar project. Pivot worked closely with USACE and the General Contractor to revise the scope of the solar project layout so that it could be integrated into the overall site plan without major modification while still providing the same benefits and energy production.
Innovations in Safety
Pivot also provided unspecified and uncharged upgrades that improved the safety and maintainability of the systems, because they are what Pivot considers industry best practice.
Ongoing Mission Support
Pivot provided specifications and an RFP template to USACE which they have adapted to other subsequent projects. Pivot has also assisted on designs for a variety of project concepts for the USACE design team.
