More than 400,000 holes drilled since 2024 across 1.7+ GW of utility-scale solar from the South Central region to the Northeast, plus 20+ GW of solar pile load testing. Filter by industry or service.
Every drilling and pile driving project below was completed with zero recordables. Client and owner names stay confidential.
Our largest recent pre-drill program: 104,000+ 6" holes at the pile locations on a 350 MW site. High-volume production drilling with our Epiroc fleet kept ready holes in front of pile installation.
Three diameters on one site: 6.5", 8" and 9". XCEL pre-drilled 89,000+ holes at the pile locations, matching hole size to the pile design and keeping production ahead of pile installation.
74,000+ 6" holes pre-drilled ahead of pile installation on this 251 MW project. Steady, high-volume production kept the pile line supplied with ready holes.
73,000+ 6" holes pre-drilled at the pile locations on this 195 MW project. Drilling stayed ahead of the drivers, so pile installation kept moving.
XCEL pre-drilled 5,000+ 6" holes ahead of pile installation on this 225 MW project, so the pile line had holes ready where it needed them.
XCEL pre-drilled 49,000+ holes in two diameters, 6" and 8", ahead of pile installation on this 150 MW project. High-volume production drilling kept ready holes in front of the pile line.
Three community solar sites with piles that called for large-diameter holes. XCEL pre-drilled 3,000+ 10" holes ahead of pile installation: the top of our size range, proven in the field.
On this 250 MW project, XCEL pre-drilled 12,000+ 6" holes at the pile locations, keeping ready holes ahead of pile installation.
