Transmission and Distribution Services
As the loads and delivery system stresses increase, the regional transmission organizations (RTO) and the reliability counsels are developing major improvements to the transmission systems within the control areas. These transmission system improvements will result in overloading the in-house engineering and design teams of many utilities. Investor owned utilities, electric cooperatives, and municipal electric systems will be required to complete major transmission system improvements in order to accomplish future PJM mandates resulting from current planning. Downes Associates is prepared to provide transmission engineering and design services to you when your in-house engineering and design teams are overloaded.
Our experienced team of engineers and designers will utilize the industry standard design tool PLS-CADD, along with TOWER, PLS-POLE, SAGSEC, SAPS, and CAISSON software furnished by Power Line Systems Inc. as required in order to meet your project’s design requirements, budgetary requirements, and time requirements. Downes Associates' engineers have successfully designed transmission lines utilizing tubular steel poles, prestressed concrete poles, and wood poles. We have successfully completed transmission line projects requiring us to perform the following tasks: planning, routing, environmental studies, facilitate right-of-way acquisition, design, development of material list for procurement, development of construction specifications, and construction management.
