We pride ourselves in being able to meet our clients’ needs in a short turn around with substation equipment replacement projects with high quality. We are highly efficient in providing complete design packages for major maintenance replacements including but not limited to:
We believe that many changes, mistakes, and delays can be avoided if the right steps are taken in the beginning of a large project, even prior to the kickoff meeting. We pay special attention to determining the standards, latest practices and preferences prior to starting the design. We ask questions and provide our feedback early on to prevent future changes. Providing options on high level concepts and conducting frequent review meetings early on enable us to nail down the design decisions, and this becomes our design basis that is rigorously discussed and agreed upon with the client. We then provide concise and regular status updates as we make progress to make sure we are on the right track. In addition, we have capabilities to use state of the art automation tools to quickly produce complete design packages for green field projects
We have capabilities to quickly produce viable options to most challenging major upgrades or green field substations. Most typically, one-lines and key plans are generated and iterated multiple times along with a list of major equipment to be able to discuss constructability, safe operation, and ease maintenance of the station. Once a design is agreed upon, a detailed report is produced including final drawings, detailed cost estimate, lead times of major equipment, schedule from RFP development to last outage, and phasing of the equipment to be put in service with required outages (multiple drawings with each). We can customize the process and the content of the report depending on each clients’ needs and expectations.
Our staff has extensive research experience via their academic background in Power Systems. Please see “Publications” to see some of the IEEE papers we have been working on.
