Representative Projects:

  • City of Columbia, Missouri, Grindstone 161/69-kV Transmission Line, Columbia, Missouri
    The project included a new triple circuit steel pole transmission line approximately 2.75 miles in length, two 161-kV circuits and one 69-kV circuit on single steel pole structures. Tangent structures were direct embedded with large angle and dead-end structures placed on reinforced concrete drilled piers.

 

  • Westar Energy, North Central and Northeast Kansas
    This project included the design of three new 115-kV transmission lines to serve oil pipeline pumping stations.

    • Walnut to TC Severance 115-kV line – 3.8 miles of double circuit wood h-frame construction and 7.5 miles of single pole, single circuit braced post line. Steel poles were used for angles and dead-end structures
    • South Seneca to TC Seneca 115-kV line – 2.2 miles of double circuit wood h-frame construction and 5.5 miles of single pole, single circuit braced post line. Steel poles were used for angles and dead-end structures.
    • Knob Hill to Steel City 115-kV line – 9.2 miles of double circuit h-frame construction and 24 miles of single pole, single circuit braced post line. Steel poles were used for angles and dead-end structures.
