Our skills in transmission and distribution extend from the design and modifications of existing infrastructure, improvements to substations and to major electrical transmission infrastructure design.
We are unique in being able to link the latest smart grid technology and thinking to the transmission and distribution systems in operations today.
Halcrow experts develop electrical standards and guidelines, undertake system and maintenance studies using power systems’ analysis software, and specify and select equipment for high and low voltage systems. We can provide the background support and program management as well as technical expertise to understand system optimization, develop and study best practices.
Transmission construction and interconnection are more than just engineering challenges. Siting and builder transmission requires stakeholder engagement and involvement as communities are often less than enthusiastic in support of such construction. Halcrow brings a unique set of expertise in bridging the gap between the technical requirements and softer skills needed to move a transmission line through the political and social hurdles. This is especially critical in this era of building renewables far away from load centers in less populated areas.
