SNC-Lavalin ATP Inc.

ATP was recently acquired by SNC Lavalin and consists of the former transmission line and substation design department of TransAlta Utilities.  Depending on where you are located, the low value of the Canadian dollar could be to your advantage in lowering the cost of design services.

RE: Design firm for transmission line

We're using Burns&McDonnell for this type of project and have been very pleased with their work.

RE: Design firm for transmission line

It depends in wich country you are and the voltage of the line you are interested to design, as well as if you want a complete design of the structures or only the shape and the load conditions, leaving the final calculation for the towers suppliers. You have to consider also if you wanto to include in the design the foundations or not. If you want more informatin please write me.

Dear juzu

I am interested in design of 66 kV transmission tower with foundation.

PLs suggest something

AKR

RE: Design firm for transmission line

Check with your local electric utility (not sure which country you are in).  Many electric utilities are competing for these type projects since they have the in-house skill (engineers, techs, surveyors, environmental, rates, regs, legal, etc.) and everyday contact with the "issues" of transmission lines.  

RE: Design firm for transmission line

Dear AKR,

You can try ECC- Larsen and Toubro's Engineering and Construction Division in Chennai India. You can forward a mail to kvrn@lntecc.com

ECC just completed a 132 kV D/C transmission line project of ours in Oman and they have a fabrication unit in Chennai.
They have supplied towers to outher foreign projects as well.
