Bowman was tapped by Florida Power & Light (FPL) to support the structural evaluation of transmission poles accommodating distribution underbuild upgrades. The work was conducted across both 69 kV and 138 kV circuits, addressing individual poles as well as larger groups of structures to assess the feasibility of proposed modifications.
The Fire Risk Mitigation (FiRM) project is part of San Diego Gas & Electric’s broader system hardening program, developed to reduce wildfire risk in high-vulnerability areas of Southern California. The initiative focused on upgrading 12 kV distribution circuits to improve both public safety and long-term system resiliency.
This program provides comprehensive engineering support for Distribution Volt/VAR Control (DVVC) implementation and ongoing system maintenance, with an emphasis on grid modernization and reliability improvements. A key component of the work includes dashboard management, ensuring operators have accurate, real-time data to monitor performance and guide decision-making.
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 provides ongoing support to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) through comprehensive system inspections designed to improve safety, reliability and regulatory compliance across utility assets. The program integrates both imagery reviews and ground-based assessments to deliver a thorough evaluation of infrastructure conditions in fire-prone regions of California.
Our team provided engineering and project management services for this 345kV reliability and capacity enhancement project involving the replacement of existing H-frame structures with taller, modern poles across 45 spans. This upgrade was designed to increase conductor clearances and achieve the maximum summer emergency line rating in accordance with client performance standards.
