What we need from your site before detailed engineering begins.
Oakhurst Energy conducts all site surveys and investigations as part of the design-and-build contract. You don't need to procure these separately. If you already have recent topographical or geotechnical surveys, we'll review them to avoid duplication but the final design responsibility sits with us, and we validate all third-party data before proceeding.
