Electric Transmission and Substations
As the electric system gets pushed to its limit to deliver more power, our clients seek creative solutions to optimize their assets and better provide for their customers. CHA’s experts have decades of experience planning, designing, and permitting electrical power delivery infrastructure, including overhead and underground transmission lines and substations. We’ve designed hundreds of transmission, distribution, and customer-owned substations and switching stations (15kV up to 300 MVA transmission stations). We’ve also designed mobile transformers and substations up to 25 MVA and 161kV. Every substation is designed to meet your particular electrical and environmental requirements.
