Electrical and Power Engineering

Allgeier Martin’s Electrical Engineering Division provides many specialty services, including Transmission Design, Distribution Planning and Design, Mapping, Substation Design, Municipal Distribution and Services, Protective Relaying and Control, Communications and SCADA. The division serves municipalities, electric cooperatives, power companies, industries, institutions
and the federal government.

Because of our strength in electrical engineering in Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Illinois and Texas, Allgeier Martin has gained a reputation as a specialty firm with personal involvement and the capability of undertaking both small and large, complex electrical engineering projects.

The Division's engineering, design and construction experience includes:

• Transmission Lines, 69 kV through 345 kV – Planning, Design, Construction Administration
• Distribution Lines, 2400 volt through 25 kV - Planning, Design, Construction Administration
• Substations, 2400 volt through 500 kV – Planning, Design, Construction Administration
• Power System Planning
• Power Supply and Rate Studies for Municipalities and Cooperatives
• Power System Studies, including Voltage Drop, Sectionalizing, Capacitor Placement, Stability & TNA
• Protective Relaying and Control Systems – Planning, Design, Procurement, Commissioning

The Electrical Division currently includes several Electrical and Civil Engineers, most of whom are Professional Engineers. Technicians, surveyors, drafters and support staff comprise the balance of the Division. Personnel use PC workstations and are networked to multiple servers. Drafters utilize AutoCAD with various scanners, plotters and printers. Microsoft Office is the standard suite and is supplemented by many other commercial and Allgeier Martin developed software and applications, including Power Line Systems' PLS-CADD™, PLS-Pole™, TOWER™, CAISSON™ and SAPS™ for transmission line design, communications tower structural analysis and other tasks; Aspen's OneLiner for protective relaying coordination and system analysis; MilSoft's WindMil for distribution system analysis and coordination, and Softdesk's Civil/Survey Software which allows recorded field survey data to be inserted directly into drawings.

The Electrical Division includes multiple transmission survey and distribution staking crews which can be supplemented by the Civil Division survey crews when needed. The survey crews utilize modern electronic Total Data Station and GPS instruments.
