Our team of engineers, designers, and drafters has expertise in all aspects of utility-scale overhead and underground distribution engineering programs. We excel at utilizing the PLS-CADD suite for distribution engineering design and analysis on new and existing distribution systems and have created construction packages for several thousand transmission and distribution poles.
In addition to ASEC’s familiarity with the overhead/underground distribution and transmission industry standards, the ASEC Distribution Team has established design criteria and introduced advanced distribution engineering design investigations to better suit our client’s compliance requirements. Additionally, ASEC’s Project Management Team has coordinated with utilities and local jurisdictions to apply for the necessary permits, environmental applications, and traffic control plans during the installation of the structures and additions. Listed below are just some of the areas ASEC’s clients have asked us to assist with:
SCOPE ASEC was assigned a new business project with both OH and UG scopes to install a new cable pole and extend the UG primary to a new pad mount transformer. ASEC’s team integrated the two separate schedule templates to ensure all milestones would be met while still...
SCOPE This project was located in the GO95 heavy and known local wind 85mph zones. Due to challenging land easement constraints and environmental concerns, several different types of designs needed to be evaluated. One major challenge with the project location was the...
SCOPE This project was located in the GO95 heavy and known local wind 85mph zones. This location involved many long-span valley crossings, variable and challenging terrains, transmission crossings, and urban neighborhoods. The distribution poles experienced relatively...
ASEC has intimate knowledge and familiarity with the overhead and underground distribution programs and methodology at SDG&E and can provide the expertise needed to successfully scope, plan, and prioritize projects covered under this program. Having performed...
SCOPE The scope of this program includes emergency replacements of poles for potential safety issues. Typical projects include 69kV – 138kV Transmission (636 ACSR/AW conductor), 12kV Distribution overhead (636 ACSR/AW Conductor) and 12kV Distribution Underground (2/0...
SCOPE ASEC is currently supporting a program aimed at helping mitigate wildfires by replacing damaged equipment on overhead distribution lines. ASEC is providing engineering and design services for this program. The engineering tasks include PLS-CADD modeling, work...
SCOPE As part of a client’s Electric System Hardening initiative ASEC has designed over 300 structures for increased reliability. All of these poles had Copper Wire that was being replaced by new Aluminum Wire. Some areas of this scope included compressed schedules...
