Transmission Line

The City wanted to tie two substations together through a new transmission line. Connecting substations offers many benefits, including enhanced reliability and redundancy in the event of a power failure, as well as more even load distribution to prevent overload conditions. This project would also improve power quality through voltage regulation and reduced fluctuations. Maintenance and load transfers would become easier with the connection, providing more flexible operation. It also supports future growth and improves emergency response.

The City hired Allgeier Martin to assess their needs. As an extension of the client’s team, AMA helped determine the best route and design for the tie-in.
