Committed to supporting distribution efforts now and in the coming years

Florida Distribution Design Engineering Program

Our client—a Florida electric utility company—strives to provide their customers with the most reliable service. To deliver on that promise, they’re planning to spend the next 20 years working on a number of services: distribution hardening, relocations, maintenance, system expansion, reliability, and revenue projects. The contract came to us.

The scope of work for each project will include coordination, determination of requirements, pre-design, field data collection, permitting, engineering, structural analyses, construction drawings, and construction support. We’ll be working on multiple projects from single-pole replacements to large underground feeder extensions that span several miles.

After identifying the worst-performing laterals and converting all overheard wire to underground, the client expects to reduce outages to customers—particularly after a catastrophic event, like a hurricane. For the next two decades Stantec will assist this utility company in its efforts to strengthen their electric infrastructure and keep the community powered up.
