The Clover–Nebo 138kV project involved modifying an existing transmission line to loop in and out of a new 138kV substation. This work was critical to integrating the substation into the regional grid and enhancing overall system reliability.
Our team developed detailed PLS-CADD™ models to analyze existing conditions and guide the redesign of the line. Comprehensive clearance analyses were performed to verify compliance with the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), as well as applicable utility standards. These evaluations ensured that conductor positions, structure modifications and hardware configurations would meet both safety and operational requirements.
In addition to design activities, we coordinated closely with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle, addressing constructability considerations and ensuring alignment with client expectations. We also managed material ordering processes, helping to streamline procurement and reduce schedule risk. To maintain high standards, the project incorporated quality assurance and quality control reviews at multiple stages, verifying that deliverables were accurate, efficient and fully constructible.
The result was a well-integrated, standards-compliant transmission solution that supports new substation operations, improves local grid flexibility and reinforces long-term system performance.
