At the request of Total Energies Renewables Cambodia, JEB performed a structural assessment and provided the complete structural analysis of the roof and load bearing members of a garment factory located in Phnom Penh. The project objective was to determine if the factory structure had the capacity to support the additional load of roof-mounted solar panels.
Following the fieldwork and in-office analysis, it was determined that the factory required structural strengthening works in order to support the added load of roof-mounted solar panels. Structural strengthening design using steel structural tension rods along with a cost estimate were developed and accepted. PESTECH Cambodia then hired JEB to implement the structural reinforcement and strengthening.
752kW solar panels are now being installed on the roof of the factory. Once complete, the factory will begin reducing its carbon footprint utilizing renewable energy!
