Key features of our service
Line design services
We specialise in designing and analysing electrical transmission infrastructure with true 3D models generated from survey data and structure drawings. Our line design solutions include:
- Electrical and wire clearance design up to 400kV
- Bespoke wood and steel structure designs for overhead equipment
- Interface designs
- Downlead and line entry arrangements
- Condition assessment diagrams
- Vegetation impact assessments
- Conductor swing analysis
- Foundation and reinforced concrete
Profiling
Our dedicated Overhead Line (OHL) Profiling CAD team creates designs and drawings for use in the OHL, transmission, and distribution sectors. Familiar with all major design codes and conductor systems in the UK, we provide outputs in both Optimal and PLS CADD formats.
Substation design
Providing bespoke substation design solutions, encompassing everything from initial concept through to detailed execution.
Engineering CAD services
Our in-house engineering CAD team provides expertise across multiple domains, including:
- Mechanical & Machinery Design
- Civil Engineering & R&D Projects
Survey services
Our dedicated Survey team supports projects ranging from local builders to nationwide developers. We produce high-definition scans, plans, sections, elevations, land area assessments, volumetrics, and underground utility tracing (GPR) drawings.
Cable route design
Using GIS and composite mapping, we deliver accurate, data-driven route planning to optimise cable layouts and reduce disruptions.
