Key Services
Substation
Substations, which serve as the central location for converting, switching, and distributing power, are made up of a complex system of devices that need to be precisely designed, maintained, and monitored.
With expertise ranging from low-voltage distribution to 500 KV substation expansions, we offer end-to-end engineering, field testing, and commissioning services for both new and existing substations. System planning and studies, electrical layouts and physical design for substations and switchyards, strategic installation outage phasing, equipment technology implementation, and designs aimed at optimizing operations are all within our electrical engineering expertise.
Transmission
Maintaining adequate insulation, reducing system losses, and guaranteeing the integrity of conductors and support structures are all critical to transmission line performance. Planning, designing, engineering, testing, and commissioning transmission lines with voltages up to 500 kV are among our skills. We can assist utilities at any point in the project life cycle, from difficult line routing and permit commencement to overhead structural analysis and design to construction supervision, and we provide a flexible approach. We have experience in substation line terminations, rebuilds, reconductoring, and new transmission lines. Additionally, we create and carry out NERC compliance and wildfire mitigation programs.

Power Generation
In order to assist make sure that systems satisfy relevant dependability and regulatory standards, we specialize in the design, commissioning, and testing of the systems required to support power plants. Planning, analysis, and facility siting are all included in our engineering services. We carry out arc flash studies, make improvements and replacements for electrical equipment, and execute preventative maintenance on existing plants. We also have a great deal of experience connecting electrical grids and power producing facilities.
Control Center
With our systems integration skills, we assist utilities in bridging the operational and information technology divide. From creating a business case for technology investment and evaluating data ready to deploying technology, offering training, and creating change management strategies, we provide focused, targeted support in addition to tailored solutions. Oracle, AspenTech, GE, Schneider, Alstom, Esri, and many other technologies have all been successfully integrated as part of our demonstrated track record.
Specialized Capabilities
Field Services
Using the best test tools and software available, we provide full engineering and field services for low-voltage distribution to high-voltage substations. Critical equipment including breakers, transformers, and relays with voltages ranging from 480V to 765kV can be maintained, tested, repaired, and upgraded by us. With services like breaker retrofits, relay testing, and system upgrades that may be tailored to satisfy NERC, IEEE, and customer standards, we are a reliable partner in guaranteeing system reliability.
Protection & Control
For the overall safety, security, and dependability of the power system, protection and control are essential. The protection and control design of transmission, distribution, and generating systems up to 500 kV is a specialty of our engineering specialists. Protective relays, circuit breakers, remote terminal units, and other devices for fault detection, metering, and communication with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are among the things we may buy, install, test, and commission.
Renewable Energy
We assist utilities in taking advantage of massive renewable energy production, such as geothermal, solar, and wind. Our engineers carry out feasibility, siting, system effect, interconnection, and other studies in the early phases of project development. The design and commissioning of new infrastructure, such as transmission lines and collector substations, that is required to support renewable generation is also frequently included in our scope of work.
Battery Storage
For utilities to provide operational flexibility and efficiently handle the variety of energy sources entering the contemporary grid, battery energy storage systems, or BESS, are crucial. System impact assessments, thorough design, battery procurement and installation, testing, and commissioning are just a few of the technical tools and experience we offer.
Project Management
Our industry-leading knowledge easily combines with your team to complete projects on schedule, within scope, within budget, and without sacrificing quality. From pre-design to post-construction, our cooperative approach covers quality assurance, safety program management, estimating, procurement, and scheduling.
