Utility-Scale Solar PV Construction
Pile foundations, tracker installation and PV module installation delivered by one accountable team.
TDS Projects Group provides engineering, construction and project management services for utility-scale and commercial solar power plants. We support developers, EPC contractors, mining operations and industrial clients with reliable solar infrastructure that maximises energy generation, operational efficiency and long-term performance.
Our recent work includes the civil and mechanical installation scope on the Mooiplaats Solar PV project in the Northern Cape, where our teams installed pile foundations, single-axis trackers and PV modules across 32.75 MW. We bring the same focus on safety, quality and programme control to every solar project we take on.
Solar PV Installation Capability
From the first drill hole to the last module, our teams deliver the construction scope that gets a solar plant built.
Pile Foundations
Drilling of 300 mm and 400 mm diameter holes to depths of between 1.8 m and 2.4 m, and placement of steel piles (I-beam and Z-beam), including in hard rock conditions.
Tracker Installation
Mechanical installation of single-axis PV trackers on the piled foundations, as part of a complete foundation-to-module installation scope.
PV Module Installation
Installation of PV modules onto the tracker structures at utility scale.
Electrical, Control & Instrumentation
Electrical and EC&I installations, cable reticulation and power distribution supported by our in-house engineering and EC&I teams.
