SnapNrack designed a customised racking system that supplies the majority of the power currently used by the airport. The installation features more than 4,600 modules installed on 51 buildings with 12 different designs. A built-up substructure was created to support the rail and modules on the north-facing roofs from 1.5-inch galvanized steel pipe, which was then attached to the building’s structural supports.
Spanning the entire roof of each building, the racking system provides a single plane and angle to evenly disperse the load of the modules. The design also complied with the building design load requirement.
The unique system by SnapNrack was designed by overcoming limited roof space, sub-optimal roof orientation and varied building design. The SnapNrack engineering team worked closely with Russell Pacific, the contracted supplier for materials, and the solar installation contractors to design the system.
