Is it hot where you are? With summer heat in full force across the globe, we thought a bit of snow might cool you off! This week, we bring you a behind-the-scenes look at a solar piling project we did with an EPC customer this past winter in Missouri… complete with Arctic winds. Enjoy! The conditions were tough.  With temps alternating between -4°F/-20°C and 35°F/2°C, the ground was either frozen solid or muddier than the nearby Mississippi River! But our steadfast Xpannerites stayed positive, soldiered on, and even had some fun in the process. The Xpanner team on video consists of Henri (CEO), David (CTO), Ryan (CFO), Owen (VP of Global Customer Success), Eddy (VP of Engineering), and members from engineering, field services, marketing, and software development (James, Aiden, Calvin, Dillon, Charlie, and Brown). The team not only ensured successful delivery but did so with innovative custom solutions that were imagined, designed, and created on-site and in-the-moment. The team braved the elements and resulting technical challenges to support our customer’s local crew successfully drive 30,000+ piles, reaching peak performance of nearly 300 piles per day per machine. Although this project is now finished, these frozen and muddy fields of Missouri are part of treasured memories. We are truly grateful to have such incredible and committed people on Team Xpanner! We Xpannerites are passionate about automating solar farm construction and upping efficiency. So… whatever the weather, whatever the conditions, whatever your existing tech (or lack thereof), we’ll be there to help you succeed! #ConTech #Constructiontechnology #Xpanner #Automationsolution #Piledriving #SolarFarm #SolarEnergy #Constructionsite

Check out #flanigansecologic featuring Ahmad Faruqui, an #energyeconomist whose distinguished career working with #electricutilities encompasses expert #ratedesign, #demandresponse program structures, the integration of #distributedenergyresources into the grid, #demandforecasting, #decarbonization, #electrification and #energyefficiency, and #loadflexibility. He shares his journey in the #energyworld, highlighting the Demand and Conservation Program at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), as well as his consulting works at The Brattle Group. He also shares the more contentious parts of the journey, seeing the #utilityindustry go from basic rate structures to more sophisticated rates, leading to the question of what rates do in the ideal that help society, and diving into the #netenergymetering / #netbilling issue. He concludes by sharing the #energyefficiency improvements he's made in his home over the years, including changing #hvacequipment, installing #rooftopsolar, adding #batterybackup during outages, and buying an #electricvehicle, all leading to #billsavings and happiness as a result. https://lnkd.in/grufrQ_M

Just a reminder - what you're "gonna do" doesn't count for much - unless you DO IT! Gotta get started before you can FINISH IT! Don't give up!! #bluecollarlife #buildyourfuture #buildyourcareer #skilledtrades #hvaclife #plumbinglife #electricianlife #buildyourdream

Yes, the utility pole market is definitely growing…and so are the trees required to support our industry. Learn more about how Koppers is addressing America’s future energy and communications needs in this Wall Street Journal article, and for more details on our pole manufacturing process take a look at our video series, Behind the Pines https://lnkd.in/gkZiV8Y9 #koppers #koppersuip #utilitypoles #poles #woodpoles #treatedwood #utilityindustry #utilities #electricgrid

No matter the reason for climbing the roof, the challenge is always the same: How to safely tie off at the top, when you have to get there from the bottom. Solve the challenge and conquer your fear with a Steep Roof Assist. Roll it up, hook it on, and climb with confidence. Let it take the job of first-man-up. Faster. Safer.

Below we show the huge difference in strength Crestabond offers for bonding solar panel mounting rails to roofs vs screwing them 

New Tate Grid LEC is made with aluminium that is manufactured at facilities using renewable energy, predominantly hydroelectric power. The switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy is transformational to our products’ embodied carbon. The new Tate Grid LEC will have half the embodied carbon than our standard Tate Grid which continues to be a market-leading structural solution. James Maher, our Director of Engineering says: “Our customers for the first time will benefit from our same great Tate structural interior fit-out solutions, but as we roll out upgrades across our product portfolio, real genuine solutions that have less carbon and have less of a climate impact.” Find out more > https://lnkd.in/gRvxPzvC #Tate #TateGridLEC #LowerEmbodiedCarbon #LECRange #StructuralCeiling
