TAMING COASTAL
EXTREMES
COUNTER
CORROSION
Environmental challenges like corrosion and salty sea spray can be constant forces against a system’s piles and racks. To stand up against the corrosive marine climate, Terrasmart designers will customize systems, coating structures with epoxy or using higher-grade hot-dipped galvanization techniques to achieve superior corrosion resistance.
REDUCE
REFUSALS
In nominal conditions and terrain, driven piles can yield great results. Things aren’t so simple on an island or coastal landscape, where hardened coral or limestone soils require added durability. Often, ground screws are the only viable option to penetrate such rocky terrain. Terrasmart’s subsurface expertise, value-engineered design, and dedicated installation crew make for higher-quality, faster, and more cost-effective builds.
TAME TOUGH
TERRAIN
Steep challenges on uneven terrain can significantly impact a project’s constructability and performance. Terrasmart offers unique strategies to maximize returns on hilly topography while deleting risks on the trickiest of sites. From the start, we combine optimization software with ultra-flexible racking systems, zero-risk ground screw foundations, and experienced installation services to deliver the best risk/reward profile for your site’s unique profile.
