In September 2024, BEI received notification that it had earned Golden Gate recognition for safety at the Eland 2 solar-plus-storage project in Kern County, California. This is a noteworthy achievement in the engineering and construction industries because it is given by CAL\/OSHA, the state\u2019s government authority for safety regulation enforcement and compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Golden Gate recognition<\/a> program, which is site\u2014and visit-specific, was originally developed to motivate and support employers who proactively work with their employees and the Cal\/OSHA Consultation service branch to maintain the highest safety standards at a particular job site. Only one Golden Gate letter of recognition is provided per company per worksite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the \"\"letter to BEI acknowledging the recognition<\/a>, Darrin Stephens, CAL\/OSHA Area Manager, wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour company has been recognized for its efforts in implementing and maintaining the requirements of T8CCR, section 3203 during the Cal\/OSHA Consultation Service Branch visit on August 28, 2024\u2026Your company, your manager, and employees demonstrated a commitment to continuously improving the effectiveness of your workplace Injury and Illness Prevention Program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEI\u2019s continued emphasis on safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very proud of this recognition from CAL\/OSHA,\u201d says Gary Chelini, Principal, BEI Construction. \u201cIt\u2019s a testament to how seriously we take safety. Through an extensive training program company-wide, we\u2019ve built a culture of safety here at BEI. From site-specific safety plans to documentation, including Injury Illness Prevention Plans (cited by CAL\/OSHA in our letter of recognition), vehicle tracking and maintenance, and accident reporting, we do everything possible to ensure the safety of everyone who works with us, at every phase of a project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn particular, we\u2019d like to commend Mitch Royal, BEI Safety Manager, who oversees safety efforts at Eland 2,\u201d continues Chelini. \u201cHis tireless work to ensure the highest safety standards at the project site was essential in earning us this recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Eland 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This 374MW solar installation, coupled with 150MW of energy storage, will provide 240MWac of electricity to serve Southern California’s power needs. Solar generated by this project will be enhanced by Tesla\u2019s Megapack 2 XL battery system, which will ensure seamless power continuity and reliability, particularly during peak-demand periods. BEI is partnering with SOLV Energy, the project’s EPC contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once completed, the Eland 2 installation, combined with Eland 1, the project’s first phase, will be among the largest operating solar-plus-storage facilities<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
