Technical Services
Maintenance Scheduling & Tracking
We can bring your maintenance records up to date and keep you there with this helpful
service. This service is designed especially for those utilities with limited budgets
or in need of temporary staff augmentation. We can help your maintenance efforts
by verifying records, scheduling tasks, and tracking maintenance of relays, breakers,
batteries and other equipment.
Planning
It is an important function requiring skills in growth forecasting, system integrity
concerns, interconnects, legal orders, budgeting and other such items. It may also
require developing cost estimates and financial justifications.
System Studies
Doing a system study is perhaps the most important part of the job. Often strategic
decisions require the systematic reviews of several options to achieve the same
goal. Our engineers will help you develop and analyze energy studies including RF
analysis for OET65 compliance.
Technological Assistance
Do you have the people that can direct and oversee work but just lack the time or
personnel to complete it? We can supply you with talented and experienced utility
engineers and other personnel to assist you on that difficult or time consuming
job. Our personnel work under your care and direction using your standards to provide
a cost efficient way to get the job done the way you want it. Our expertise includes
transmission line design, substation design, panel and I&C layouts, testing and
startup liaison services.
Scanning
Scan images to 42” wide into several popular formats.
Plotting
Make Black & White and Color Plots to 42”.
Bitmaps
We will scan your drawings from mylars, linen or microfiche and convert them to
a bitmap, tiff or jpg or other popular format, clean them up, then paste them into
an AutoCAD or Intergraph file. These files are “For Viewing Purposes Only” and are
not suited for those that require the interactive features of a fully rasterized
AutoCAD file.
Copy CAD
This program is set-up to transfer your existing mylars, microfiche, or linen drawings
into rasterized CAD drawings. Line sags are duplicated using mathematical formulas
instead of just digitized dots on a drawing connected by lines. This allows us to
offer drawings that can actually be worked on in AutoCAD for not much more than
the cost of simple scanned drawings that are useful only for viewing. We are very
proud of this service. Our engineers work with designers and CCAD operators to help
ensure your prints are reproduced accurately and neatly. Often, we are able to note
discrepancies, or omissions on prints that can be corrected.
Redraws
With this service we completely redraw your existing hard copy drawings into an
AutoCAD or Intergraph format. Engineers review drawings and if desired, highlight
discrepancies or errors of they are discovered.
Owner's Engineer
We have staff experienced as the Owner’s Engineer dealing on a day-to-day basis
with the Client’s staff, other engineering companies, and others needing to address
issues or seeking approvals.
Construction Management
This is a comprehensive program to help track your project. As liaison to your contractors,
we will track time and expenses and assist with oversight, testing and startups.
