In the years since, Ironclad has been involved in a number of high profile solar developments, including: the Brooks Solar Project; the Spring Coulee Solar Project; the Sollair Solar Energy Project; the Burdett Solar Project; the Yellow Lake Solar Project; the Conrad Solar Project; and the Claresholm Solar Project. Most recently, they partnered with PCL Construction to successfully deliver the largest solar project in Canada, Travers Solar, which covers over 3,300 acres and generates 465 megawatts of power. On each of those projects, Ironclad acted as the civil earthworks contractor responsible for the preparation and construction of the physical infrastructure required to support the solar farms. Across them, they delivered: mass grading and detailed site preparation; construction of internal road networks; excavation and civil works for substations; trenching and backfill operations; drainage systems and erosion control; survey integration and grading verification; and quality control and turnover documentation. Large-scale solar developments can be extremely challenging for a number of related reasons. One of those challenges is their sheer size – solar farms can cover thousands of acres, requiring careful coordination of equipment, crews, and material movement. Another challenge is the precise grading tolerances – solar farms require extremely precise grading because the entire array of solar panels MAY 2026
