McCormick Belcamp Distribution Center Solar Panel Installation

McLaren Engineering Group performed structural design services on the installation of a 1.8-megawatt (MW) rooftop solar photovoltaic system at McCormick’s 370,000-square-foot distribution center in Bel Camp, MD.

The McLaren Difference: Applied Ingenuity

McLaren’s team successfully overcame the challenge posed by the existing structure’s metal roof deck that was sensitive to concentrated loads. McLaren and the panel provider developed a system layout to minimize the impact to the existing structural framing, while maximizing the efficiency of panel installation.
