Transmission and Distribution Engineering

Challenges currently being experienced in the AC transmission and distribution networks have resulted in the need for a balance between traditional and well-established design and engineering concepts and the application of the latest innovative engineering strategies being applied around the globe. Increasingly, the particular installation or facility being developed needs to have its key electrical parameters and requirements established so that an experienced contractor can be selected to design, construct, commission and put it into operation.

A broad range of engineering activities are required to take a potential transmission or distribution project from concept through to in-service delivery, including establishing technical parameters, defining specifications, and progressing critical tasks such as site and route selection, land and easement procurement, and permitting. From these early activities, detailed technical specifications are developed, suppliers and contractors are selected, and the process of detailed design, installation, testing, and commissioning is supported.

At Amplitude, our team of engineering specialists applies expert knowledge and experience gained across numerous projects, countries, and jurisdictions to provide clients with the latest engineering expertise needed to bring their projects to fruition.
