Verified Flagship Reference: 180 MWp Solar Power Project, Tuticorin
AARAA Infrastructure served as a primary civil and structural EPC contractor for the landmark 180 MWp Utility Solar Power Project in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu. Our scope encompassed comprehensive site grading, heavy coastal pile foundations, module mounting structure (MMS) erection, internal cable trenching, central inverter room civil works, and 110kV substation civil infrastructure.
Engineered for Coastal & Solar Corridor Challenges
Tuticorin’s strategic location along the Gulf of Mannar presents unique environmental factors that demand specialized engineering for long-term solar asset reliability:
- Anti-Corrosive Marine Protection: Coastal atmospheric salinity rapidly degrades standard steel. We utilize hot-dip galvanized steel structures with 80+ micron zinc coating thickness and stainless steel (SS316) hardware to guarantee 25+ year structural integrity.
- Coastal Saline Soil Pile Engineering: High water tables and corrosive soil profiles in Thoothukudi district require specialized driven cast-in-situ concrete piles and sulphate-resistant cement formulations.
- High Wind-Load Structural Stability: MMS structures are engineered for coastal wind speeds up to 180 km/h in full compliance with IS 875 (Part 3) standards.
Turnkey Solar EPC & Civil BoP Scope
We deliver complete, single-point accountability for solar power developers and IPPs across South Tamil Nadu:
- Civil Land Development: Topographic contouring, clearing, boundary fencing, drainage channels, and internal heavy-duty access roads.
- Structural Works: MMS pile testing, pre-cast pier casting, array table erection, and tracker/fixed-tilt alignment.
- Electrical & Grid Evacuation BoP: DC/AC cable trenching, central/string inverter enclosures, 33kV pooling switchyards, and TANTRANSCO 110kV/230kV substation civil packages.
