Remediation That Performs: Civil Solutions for a Resilient Renewable Energy Future

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.


Solar Site Remediation

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.
