Tier 1 provided engineering and design services for the FEMA-funded hardening and reconstruction of approximately 7 miles of distribution backbone lines, enhancing system resilience against severe weather.

 

Project Scope:

• Pole load analysis for existing and proposed structures using PLS-CADD

• Reconductoring and system hardening for critical loads

​​​​​

Key Deliverables:

• Detailed pole schedule

• Bill of materials with long-lead items highlighted

• Cost estimates

• Primary single-line diagrams and plan views

• Preliminary construction sequencing

• Sag and tension reports

• Pole load analysis summaries

• Safety clearance evaluations

​​

Key Outcomes:

• Strengthened distribution backbone for improved storm resilience

• Provided comprehensive, build-ready design package for efficient construction

• Ensured safety and compliance with industry standards while protecting critical loads
