From substation site design to energization and beyond

Expanse’s civil and structural engineering services play a pivotal role in the design, construction and maintenance of critical infrastructure within the electrical power distribution and transmission industry.

Our engineers design the foundations for transformers, circuit breakers and switchgear to withstand various environmental factors, such as seismic events, high winds and extreme temperatures. They also consider factors like soil stability and drainage to ensure the long-term stability of the substation. The layout and arrangement of equipment within the substation is also optimized to maximize efficiency and minimize operational risks.

Meeting evolving energy demands and challenges

Expanse civil and structural engineers stay up-to-date with the latest industry regulations and codes to ensure our designs meet all necessary safety and environmental requirements. They also contribute to the development of innovative solutions to enhance the resilience and sustainability of substations in the face of evolving energy demands and challenges.
