CLEARING
Utility scale solar and wind work is clearing at a scale most contractors have never run: hundreds of acres, EPC schedules, and dirt that has to be ready when the racking crews arrive. We have cleared more than 2,400 documented acres for named Texas solar projects. Here is how that work runs.
Five named Texas solar farms carry our clearing work: the 1,200 acre Cattlemen Solar Farm at Rosebud, the 800 acre Chisme Solar Farm at Brownwood, the 177 acre DiLeo project at Clifton, the 159 acre Big Sky site at Rosanky, and the 142 acre Miranda site at Tilden. Every one is documented with acreage, timeline, and the conditions that mattered. That is the difference between claiming solar experience and publishing it.
Solar sites are won and lost on schedule. The clearing sub is first on the ground, which means every day we run long, the pile driving, racking, and electrical crews slide. Our answer is fleet pace: multiple dedicated high horsepower mulchers on site at once, working a cut plan matched to the array layout, with grubbing and dirt crews following where pads, roads, and trenching corridors need roots out.
Mulching earns its keep on solar ground twice. During construction it clears without burn piles that would stop work in a county burn ban. After energization, the mulched ground under and between arrays is what vegetation management crews maintain, and starting from ground cover instead of bare dirt is the difference between mowing and erosion repair.
Wind work is a different shape: long access roads to scattered pads, crane walks between them, and collection line corridors tying it together. Wind farm access road clearing is corridor work at heart, and it draws on the same playbook as our transmission right of way clearing, including a documented 127 acre LCRA corridor. Generation ties to grid through cleared line, and we work both ends of that wire.
For EPCs and developers the commercial terms are deliberately simple: published mulching rates, $3,000 a day skid steer with transport included and $4,000 a day plus transport for high horsepower machines, fleet mobilization quoted per project, and a public project record your diligence team can verify without asking us for references.
Our largest single documented solar clearing is 1,200 acres at the Cattlemen project. Fleet size scales to schedule; the honest constraint is brush density, not appetite.
Yes. Mulching clears the array fields; grubbing and dirt crews handle pads, access roads, and trench corridors on the same mobilization, which is how the schedule stays whole.
Yes, because mulching creates nothing to burn. That single fact has kept more than one Texas solar schedule alive through a dry summer.
Access roads, crane paths, pad sites, and collection corridors. It is corridor and pad work, and it runs on the same fleet and published rates.
Send the layout and the schedule. Published rates, five named solar farms of proof, and a fleet that keeps racking crews on time.
