As a key member of the design-build team, McCalmont Engineering’s drawings were the main portion of the design submittal to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. McCalmont Engineering served as the Engineer of Record and primary design subcontractor, and also had responsibility for approximately half the procurement for the project (modules, inverters, and rack mounting system). McCalmont’s designers and engineers coordinated the preliminary physical layout drawings for the positioning and elevation of the solar array and other equipment. The McCalmont Engineering team also developed the DC & AC electrical single-line diagram (SLD), wire calculations, and conduit schedule and routing.
