Complete civil packages for utility solar in Missouri: clearing, mass grading, access roads, trenching, SWPPP, fencing, and substation civil under one contract.
Backwell is a civil site work general contractor serving utility solar EPCs building in Missouri. We contract complete civil packages: clearing, mass grading, access roads, trenching and underground utilities, erosion control and SWPPP, fencing, and substation civil, all under one contract with Backwell field leadership on site.
Missouri's utility solar buildout is driven by Ameren's generation program, which calls for solar additions running from 400 MW to more than 950 MW across its resource plans. Utility-owned procurement of this kind tends to produce steady, schedule-driven EPC awards, and each of those projects needs a civil package let early to hold the interconnection and in-service dates.
Missouri terrain is more varied than the flat corn-belt states: rolling ground, rock in the cut, and creek crossings show up in the civil scope. We price rock, undercut, and crossing structures with stated allowances and unit rates so the EPC is not carrying hidden earthwork risk.
We price the package as one scope under one contract. Owners and EPCs get a single point of responsibility for the civil critical path instead of managing separate clearing, earthwork, and utility subcontracts.
Backwell superintendents, project managers, and lead operators run every site. We mobilize company-owned equipment for core scope and scale each project with leased iron, qualified regional subcontractors, and agency-placed field staff, all under Backwell supervision and a single contract.
For projects claiming the full ITC or PTC under the Inflation Reduction Act, Backwell produces Davis-Bacon certified payroll, pays the applicable county wage determination, and supports apprenticeship labor-hour compliance. See the national solar civil page for the full PWA and begin-construction discussion.
Send plans, a scope of work, and the schedule through the form below or call (315) 400-2654. We review the civil package, walk the site if it is at that stage, and return a scoped proposal with a schedule of values, stated fill allowances, and unit rates for overages. A one-page capability statement is available for prequalification files.
Plans, scope, and schedule reviewed and answered promptly.
