65MW Project in the Philippines: Come and Check How Antaisolar Resist Two Times of Earthquake
Nov 09, 2022Down on the coast of Currimao, the Philippines, a large-scale 65MW solar plant is under construction. Utilizing Antaisolar's carbon-steel ground mounting system, the project started in January 2022 and will finally be grid in February 2023.
The Philippines lies at the Pacific and Indian Ocean junction, close to the equator. The unique location gives the country beautiful island scenery but also causes a variety of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanic eruptions, which can cause extreme damage to solar plants.
Deployed on the seaside, the solar plant is facing multiple threats, including salt damage, hurricane, and occasionally earthquake. During the construction period, Antai's mounting system successfully got through two times of 7-degree earthquakes. Even under Typhoon Nalgae, the whole structure didn't move a single jot, which greatly impressed the clients, and they commented that " we have strong confidence in Antai products now. "
Natural hazards can cause instant harm, and salt damage is considered a chronic killer, for it can cause corrosion over time. After estimating the corrosion degree, engineers from Antaisolar optimized the system by adopting the high-level anti-corrosion galvanized layer. To meet the requirement of saving labor costs, engineers figured out ways to reduce components, making the whole structure more stable and easy to install.
Antaisolar worked closely with the developer and EPC team to provide products that can stand the test of time, and offer construction best practices. From arrivals checking to mock-up installation, our engineer is always on site to give the most professional guidance. Daniel Zhang, one of our engineers in the project, has been away from home for more than three months, offering firm supports to the on-site installation.
Antai people always hold the belief that we don't just sell products, we would like to be creative designers, problem solvers, and committed contributors to Raise A Green World. Under the mission, you can always see our staff providing tailor-made solutions and on-site support in every corner of the solar world. These are the Antai spirit, and we'll always hold on to it.
