The Carport Structures crew has just finishing up at FT. Bliss where they have erected several ground mounted elevated solar structures. The structures were designed to carry 360 – KDX210GX at a 10º stationary fixed tilt for a total of over 75kw.
Project challenges included - special height and wind loading requirements.

Here are just a few pics.
Repeat Customer, Vanguard Energy Partners recently completed the Installation of this 84.24 Kw elevated solar, roof mounted system.
The structural steel package was designed to connect to existing building structure at column location with a span grid of 40′ x 25′ in order to minimize additional load impact to existing structure.
The elevated solar roof mount pv system was developed and installed by Vanguard Energy partners , engineered and fabricated by Carport Structures Corp.

Designed in partnership with Vanguard Energy Partners the structural steel package consists of hot rolled shapes and cold formed light gage components in order to provide and custom prefabricated structure and solar racking system that would take full advantage of the existing walk ways in order to eliminate the need for additional foundations. The elevated solar shade structure “solar carport” provided the necessary square footage for the installation of the 334 kw PV system.
Solar project developed and erected by Vanguard Energy Partners.
Structural steel engineered and fabricated by Carport Structures Corp.
In 2008 Carport Structures Corporation in alliance with NorAm Service Group and Koerber Construction, completed the rebuild / renovation of the 45,000 sq ft galvanizing facility. Challenges included the designing of an entirely new roof structure that would utilize existing columns as well as a complex work schedule that would allow for continued production for the galvanizer.
Services Provided include : design, engineering, detailing, dismantle & demolition, fabrication and erection.
Duration of Construction: 45 days.

This 578 kw solar power plant consists of both ground mounted and roof mounted arrays as well as a custom designed elevated shade structure that was retrofitted to the existing water treatment tanks. The tank canopy ”solar carport” was configured using structural steel and gage steel components in order to optimize spans.

With the completion of phase two carport installation, USA Park in Jacksonville Florida now hosts 443 covered parking spaces servicing travelers at the Jacksonville international airport.
Customers can now have the option to upgrade to carport parking available for long and short term.
Dikeou Realty selected a flat roof twin box beam design in order to remain consistent with other US Park locations throughout the United States.
The flat top style carports were constructed using galvanized steel mini pile foundation and posts in order to minimized footing spoils and simplify the installation process. Twin box beam headers fabricated from two 14 gage galvanized steel and 20 gage deep rib panels were used as the roofing component.
In addition to covered parking, Carport Structures designed, fabricated and installed a 50′ x 68′ entry canopy.

The recently constructed Solar Carport at El Chorro Lodge in Paradise Valley, AZ utilized the newly developed X Frame. The X frame column was used in order to provide a full cantilever roof structure for both single depth and head to head parking. The solar carports when finished will be fitted with a REC 220 solar panel and provide approximately 145kw.

Stath Haven Condo’s in Swarthmore, PA was completed in May of 2009. This site was notable for its variation in elevation. This site characteristic required that the carport roofs to be stepped in order to accommodate the sloping grade. Flat top carports were selected, all steel components were galvanized to provide a maintenance free end product and mini pile foundation were used rather than traditional concrete pier style.
