Data Center Complex 500kV-230kV-69kV Transmission Line Design

Tap and tie connection design of an existing 500kV circuit into a new substation facility located at a Nuclear Plant facility. Close coordination with the plant owner/operator, as well as compliance with advanced standards and practices for nuclear plant operation. Subsequent phases included the design of five (5) new circuits ranging from 69kV to 230kV.

Transmission Owner’s Engineering & QA/QC

Owner’s Engineering and Quality Assurance/Quality Control services for the rebuild of an existing 69kV, 11-mile overhead circuit between two substations. A large portion of the circuit was designed to support distribution underbuild, as well as various third-party attachments. A portion of the rebuild was designed as double-circuit to support an adjacent 69kV circuit.
