What We Maintain

Medium Voltage Distribution

Reliability maintenance for 5 kV–35 kV campus and site distribution — the systems that quietly carry the load until a cable or termination fails. Our testing program is designed to find degradation before it becomes an outage.

5–35 kV. Find degradation before it becomes an outage.

  • Cable repair, splice replacement, and re-termination
  • Cable replacement and duct bank rework

Switchgear & Equipment

  • Pad-mount and metal-clad switchgear inspection and maintenance
  • Load break switch, elbow, and fuse service
  • Unit substation and transformer maintenance
  • Contact resistance testing and torque verification
  • Cleaning, insulation testing, and corrosion repair

System Reliability

  • Infrared thermography of terminations, switchgear, and transformers
  • Loop configuration review and switching plan development
  • Grounding system testing and repair
  • Arc flash and coordination study updates
  • Single-line and as-built drawing maintenance

Infrastructure

  • Manhole, vault, and handhole inspection and pumping
  • Duct bank integrity assessment and rodding
  • Pull box and riser inspection
  • Cable racking, support, and fireproofing repair
