MAY 2026 the next, continually refining the company’s approach and building deep expertise in renewable energy construction. Additionally, Ironclad first started doing largescale solar farms because they were looking for a challenge – and Clint says that challenge hasn’t diminished. “Those projects keep getting bigger and bigger and they keep getting a little bit more advanced,” he explains. “The challenge with the solar farms is they’re all progressive design-build. So the soils are always changing and therefore the cut-fill balance is forever changing. So they’re very heavy on the survey and the demands, and they will forever be a challenge as the jobs are just rapidly changing day to day.” “That keeps a fun amount of pressure and hustle in the workplace,” he adds. “And it keeps our workforce engaged, because we have attracted a lot of team members that really enjoy that challenge. We have a lot of employees who came to us because they heard we do a lot of really interest, unique, tough projects, and they wanted in. We want to keep those people busy and keep taking on tougher jobs” To that end, Ironclad Earthworks is also interested in exploring some other kinds of projects in the renewable energy sector. Not only do they foresee that sector continuing to grow, but Clint personally studied environmental science at college, so it’s a type of work close to his heart. “Renewable energy is fun and it’s not going away,” Clint says. “We’re interested in doing a lot more work within that sector. We’re already done a lot of solar. We’re very eager to be involved in some wind farms. We’ve done a lot of dam work over the years, and we’d love to be involved in a hydroelectric dam project. There are a lot of opportunities and we want to keep exploring them.”
