Engineering is essential to virtually every aspect of generating and transporting electricity, serving as a backbone of safe, efficient power infrastructure. It enables utilities to deliver reliable electricity and supports industrial owners in maintaining stable, productive systems. Our powerhouse of engineering experts are highly skilled problem solvers with an unwavering commitment to safety, accuracy and quality.
Through our work with power utilities, renewable and data center developers, and industrial facility owners, we have a 360-degree view of the power grid. Supported by digital solutions, program management, and field service expertise, we streamline complex projects to deliver safe, efficient, and innovative power infrastructure.
Project Development
We help move preliminary concepts into actionable projects through our comprehensive, end-to-end services that include system and site evaluations, feasibility studies, project scoping, estimating and schedule development. Using a flexible, multidisciplinary approach, we can serve as an owner’s engineer or a project consultant. In either role our goal is the same—to ensure your project meets all requirements and is completed on time and within budget.
