Technical Solutions for a More Resilient Electrical Grid and Power Systems

GEM is a secure, online platform designed to better prepare for and enhance workflows during outages. It aggregates data from multiple sources, such as weather services and GIS mapping, while serving as a repository for critical playbooks and contacts to optimize response times. It also includes a report-generation tool to support regulatory compliance and cost recovery. Initially developed with support from the U.S. Department of Energy and industry partners, it has evolved into a state-of-the-art emergency management tool. 

For existing infrastructure, we offer a full-scale pole inspection and analysis as well as industry-leading treatments to strengthen and extend the service life of above ground poles. We have experience converting power lines from overhead to underground and can specify more robust models of transformers, switchgear and circuit breakers. At substations, we implement advanced protection and control design and deploy technologies that provide remote monitoring, fault detection and automated switching. To help mitigate the impacts of outages, we help clients integrate microgrids into distribution networks.  

At industrial facilities and power plants, we offer emergency services that can include on-site electrical equipment assessments, temporary power solutions and procurement support. For electric utilities, we can deploy crews to affected areas to conduct damage assessments and help mitigate safety hazards such as downed power lines.
