The Lake Jody Chaberton Energy Solar project was developed to expand renewable energy resources in southern New Mexico. The solar facility covers approximately 20 acres and includes a large solar panel array, gravel access roads, and an equipment pad. Situated just southeast of the intersection of Amapola Road SE and New Mexico-549, the project supports the growing demand for sustainable energy infrastructure in Luna County and the surrounding region.

Our team provided a detailed geotechnical investigation at the site to evaluate subsurface conditions for the proposed solar panel array and equipment pad. The scope included advancing six test borings strategically placed throughout the site. Each boring was drilled to a depth of 20 feet below existing ground surface, or until auger refusal, providing valuable data to guide solar foundation design and construction.

In total, the geotechnical study accounted for 120 linear feet of drilling, ensuring that the structural and soil conditions were fully assessed to support efficient and reliable project development.
