Bowman along with Wildlife Imaging Systems is monitoring bat flight behaviors at wind turbines with thermal imaging cameras and post-construction monitoring. The videos obtained are processed using machine learning algorithms to identify bat tracks and unique behaviors associated with bat attraction to wind turbines.
Our team served as the electrical, civil, and structural engineer for the Wadesboro Solar project. We also acted as the design project manager, working closely with the developer, installer and equipment manufacturers to efficiently execute the design of this 5 MW AC (7.65 MW DC) solar PV system located in Wadesboro, NC.
Spencer Meadow Solar and Lowe Country Solar (Spencer & Lowe) are a pair of twin projects near Asheboro, NC. Our team provided the electrical and structural engineering, a comprehensive plan set and construction support.
This project was located on the coast in harsh and wet environmental conditions near the North Carolina Albermarle Sound. Our team provided the full electrical design (PV system, auxiliary power, medium voltage design) and the structural design (inverter group structures, equipment pads).
Our team worked with a local utility company, Delta Montrose Electric Association (DMEA) to design 10 kW grid connected PV systems for several local schools. In addition to providing modest energy offset, these solar electric systems serve as educational and demonstration systems at five high schools located in Delta and Montrose counties.
Our engineering team worked closely with the racking manufacturer and civil engineer to optimize the site for installation and system performance. The layout takes advantage of the slight southern facing slope of the parcel, while varied east to west spacing and backtracking reduces inter-row shading on the rolling terrain.
Temperance Solar and Bingham Solar are two projects located in Michigan and are 29.7 MWDC and 29.3 MWDC in size, respectively. Our team, in partnership with J-Ranck Electric, provided civil, structural and electrical engineering, and assisted with commissioning. The substations for each project were prepared in-house under the supervision of our medium/high voltage engineer.
EDF Renewables contracted us to provide aerial mapping survey services for a new solar facility to be constructed on an old power plant site. The combination of cutting edge Lidar technology and UAV services allowed our team to conduct topographic surveys throughout EDF’s 2,500 acres of land.
Kings Creek Wind Farm was a hard bid, multi-phase aerial and ALTA survey for an approximate 50,000 acre wind farm. The scope consisted of a manned aircraft aerial survey to collect ortho imagery and an on-the-ground boundary survey to produce ALTA surveys for all project parcels.
Performed surveying services for approximately 2,400 acres located in Refugio County near Austin, TX. The scope included an aerial survey to collect orthoimagery and an on-the-ground boundary survey to produce ALTA surveys for all project area. Our team of professional surveyors marked out points and lines of any significant features found in the field and after in-depth title work.
