138kV Transmission Line Rebuild
SCOPE ASEC’s client is rebuilding their existing 138kV transmission lines. The cell equipment on the existing structures is being transferred to new structures. The scope of the project is to develop new loads for the cellular antennas installed on the structure....
Antenna Add-ons
SCOPE ASEC worked on our client’s PCS program where antenna additions throughout the client’s systems were modeled and towers analyzed for strength and capacity requirements for the additional loads per governing client standards, GO 95 code and ANSI/TIA-222...
Geometric Considerations of Transmission Line Structures
1. Abstract Geometry of a transmission line structure plays a vital role in the overall design of the transmission line. Improper geometric design due to excessive phase spacing in a transmission line structure may result in uneconomical transmission line designs...
The Cost of Climate Change on Transmission Infrastructure
Abstract As the frequency of extreme weather events increases, the cost of climate change is becoming more evident by the year. Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Harvey, and Hurricane Ida are just three recent examples that show how costly these major events can be for...
Compliance Program
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...
Drone Identification & Repair Program
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...
Fire Risk Mitigation (FiRM) – ESH
SCOPE Within the framework of a client’s Electric System Hardening initiative, ASEC has meticulously crafted more than 300 structures aimed at enhancing reliability. These structures predominantly featured Copper Wire components, which were subsequently upgraded...
138kV & 345kV Drilled Pier Foundation Design
SCOPE ASEC was required to design 138kV and 345kV drilled pier foundations for Engineered Steel Poles supported with Anchor Bolts for multiple installations for its gulf coast region client. These foundations would have to resist the soft clays and high overturning...
138kV Substation A-frame Analysis
SCOPE ASEC’s client is rebuilding their existing 138kV transmission line and requested ASEC to analyze the existing substation dead-end structure to determine the maximum allowable pull-off tension capacity. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The terminal deadend structure was...Licensed Professional Engineers
