CIVIL/STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
Foundations and structures comprise the fundamental form and strength of a substation project. Complicated substation projects are impossible to design without strong civil/structural engineering. SECo consistently delivers comprehensive civil and structural engineering solutions tailored to the unique demands of each project.
Having already designed over 1,000 foundations and structures for substation and switchyard projects of all sizes, SECo’s civil and structural engineers combine this experience with deep specialized knowledge to produce high quality, efficient, and innovative designs for any possible substation project.
SECo works closely with all project teams – physical electrical, geotechnical, environmental, steel and equipment vendors, and beyond – to ensure integrated designs that meet every design requirement to efficiently arrive at a quality design, every time.
