Substation Engineering

TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION SUBSTATION DESIGN

Electric Power Utilities continue to invest in their electrical substation facilities to support reliability initiatives, modernization, and the introduction of Distributed Energy Resources (DER).

ControlPoint Technologies’ team of Substation Engineers includes Principal Engineers, Designers, and Consultants to provide the engineering needed to support substation upgrade and expansion projects.  

Substation Engineering design packages will include the Site Plan, Substation General Arrangement Drawings, Grounding and Fence Detail Drawings, Enclosures, Station Service Drawings, Equipment Drawings, Structural Drawings, One Line, Three Line, and Control Schematics, Wiring Drawings, Cable and Conduit Schedules, Communications Network Drawings and Material Lists.

Large Substation Projects will be supported by our Senior Project Managers to facilitate project schedules, drawing transmittals, review cycles, and progress reporting to all utility stakeholders.   Project Managers work closely with our Technical Lead Engineers to develop a detailed project plan that will support project budget, schedule, safety, and quality requirements.
