Solutions · Underground Distribution

Underground distribution engineering that survives contact with the ground.

Production support for underground MV/LV distribution: routing, duct-bank and conduit concepts, crossings, utility conflicts and the documentation your reviewers expect, prepared for your PE's review.

Scope

What we take on in an underground program.

  • Underground MV/LV distribution — feeder and lateral routing, service and secondary layouts, equipment siting
  • Cable routing — corridor selection, alignment, separation and clearance to existing utilities
  • Conduit and duct-bank concepts — configuration, spare capacity, vault and pull-box placement, pull-tension awareness
  • Crossings — road, rail, watercourse and flood-defence crossings; open trench versus trenchless (HDD, jack-and-bore)
  • Utility conflicts — locate data, potholing needs, conflict registers and resolution proposals
  • Constructability — access, phasing, working space, traffic control interfaces, protection of existing assets
  • GIS integration — design-ready inputs from and back into your GIS/WMS schema
  • Design documentation and technical coordination — plan, profile, sections, details, notes; interfaces with owner, municipality and contractor
Constructability & coordination

Reviewed from the crew's side of the trench.

Design reviews that ask the questions the field will ask: equipment access, phasing, working space in constrained streets, protection of existing infrastructure, and the crossing details that most often cause change orders.

  • Constructability review notes per work package
  • Interface registers and permit tracking
  • Decision documentation that holds up in project audits
