Electrical transmission facilities play a vital role for our society. They connect us to sustainable energy, power our economy and provide the reliability needed to keep us safe. Our professionals bring the experience, skills and vision you need to make your transmission initiatives successful, ranging from single spans connecting new generation facilities to the most complex, long-distance interregional projects.
What You Need to Know About Electrical Transmission
AC and DC transmission projects can stretch for hundreds of miles or cover one mile at a time, with sections running overhead, underground or undersea to meet your needs. By working with interested parties to identify optimal routes, we help you manage acquisitions of easements and rights-of-way, tracking public involvement and conducting educational campaigns along the way.
Why Burns & McDonnell?
We work with you as a partner. Whether we’re considering design options or commissioning finished projects — or anything and everything in between — we work to see that you, your customers and communities get safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable power delivery.
Our experience includes projects ranging from 34.5-kV to 765-kV. We conduct studies, evaluate routing and siting, secure permits, procure materials, manage construction, and otherwise handle all aspects of your project. We can be your partner for design-build/engineer-procure-construct (EPC) project delivery or work as program manager to achieve your project goals.
Throughout design our engineers and scientists focus on countless details — structure loads, conductor/cable ampacity, audible noise, sag, tension and more — to build efficient, reliable system strength. We systematically track your project’s progress and deliverables to keep you and interested parties informed throughout the job.
