Role

Scope
$10M program
Status
Construction

An electric cooperative is building a new 115 kV substation, plus the transmission and distribution work around it, to serve fast-growing load. They needed one firm keeping design, procurement, and construction moving as a single program. Our team serves as the owner’s program manager and engineer.

WHAT WE CARRY

  • Master schedule across substation, transmission, and distribution
  • Procurement of the power transformer, relay panels, reclosers, and switches
  • Coordination of the design, protection, geotechnical, survey, and construction firms
  • Monthly cost control the board can read in one page
