As the renewable energy industry continues to scale, so do the expectations for long-term performance, resilience, and environmental compliance. From early-stage development to decades-long operation, project sites face inevitable challenges—weather, erosion, drainage failure, compaction, and more.

Sendero Energy Services specializes in civil remediation services that restore integrity, prevent future risks, and protect your investment—whether you’re preparing a brownfield for new development or addressing infrastructure issues on an operating site.
Civil Remediation Is More Than Cleanup
In renewable energy, remediation extends well beyond environmental cleanup. For developers, EPC firms, and asset managers, remediation is a critical part of ensuring site longevity, energy production, and regulatory compliance.
Common issues include:
Erosion of slopes and access roads
Poor or failing drainage systems
Soil instability or settling near structural foundations
Standing water under arrays or around inverters
Infrastructure degradation from storm events or natural wear
Our remediation work addresses these problems with practical, engineered solutions—delivered efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption to operations.
What We Deliver
Sendero’s remediation services are built around field-tested execution, in-house resources, and deep civil experience in renewable energy.
Our capabilities include:
Site regrading and slope correction
Drainage and swale excavation
Culvert pipe and rip-rap installation
Erosion control with geotextile and geocell systems
Low water crossings and pad reinforcement
Soil compaction and dewatering
Hazardous material containment on brownfield sites
Post-construction defect mitigation
Whether your site needs preventative drainage upgrades or post-commissioning repair, we provide turnkey remediation support from start to finish.
Real-World Experience: Wagyu Solar Park
Sendero recently completed a civil remediation scope at the 162 MW Wagyu Solar Park in Brazoria County, Texas. The site, developed by Cypress Creek Renewables and constructed by RES, required drainage and structural repairs to mitigate long-term water impacts.
Our team executed:
Excavation of over 17,000 CY of drainage ditches
Installation of 490 LF of culvert pipe with concrete rip-rap
Construction of 46 low water crossings with geocell and aggregate
Dewatering and retention basin improvements
Work was performed on an active site with strict safety coordination—improving long-term access, hydrology, and site durability.
Why It Matters
Unchecked erosion or drainage issues can compromise more than roads and racking—it can impact energy production, O&M costs, and site safety. The best remediation plans are proactive, responsive, and informed by boots-on-the-ground civil experience.
At Sendero, we bring:
Industry-specific knowledge of solar, wind, BESS, and carbon capture sites
A fleet of owned equipment and trained crews
Deep familiarity with energy-specific QA/QC, safety, and schedule demands
Environmental responsibility and regulatory alignment from start to finish
Remediation Isn’t a Patch—It’s Protection
When your site’s performance, safety, or future expansion is on the line, remediation isn’t just reactive—it’s strategic. Sendero Energy Services is here to help you solve the problem and safeguard the project.
