Utilities & Substations

Substation outages are unforgiving. Our IR, ultrasound, and Enviropeel programs help T&D operators find and fix issues before customers feel them.

Inspections: full system and physical condition inspection, thermal and ultrasound scans

The reliability challenge

Transmission and distribution utilities operate thousands of substation assets in harsh, exposed environments. Loose connections, corroded terminations, and partial discharge cause the majority of unplanned outages — and all of them are detectable long before failure.
  • Aging breakers, transformers, and switchgear
  • Outdoor environments accelerating corrosion
  • Partial discharge in MV/HV switchgear
  • Crew safety constraints on energized equipment
  • Regulatory and reliability index pressure

Outcomes we deliver

  • Fewer unplanned substation outages
  • Improved SAIDI / SAIFI performance
  • Long-term protection of capital assets
  • Documented condition data for asset management
  • NFPA 70B compliance

Our process

How an engagement runs

A repeatable, low-disruption process built around your production schedule and safety requirements.

1

Scope & walk-down

We meet on site, walk your assets, and agree on the criticality ranking, scope, and access plan.

2

Inspection & data capture

Certified technicians collect IR, ultrasound, lubrication, and visual condition data using calibrated tools.

3

Prioritized reporting

You receive a written report ranking every finding by severity, with photos, thermal and ultrasound images, and recommended actions.

4

Corrective action support

We help you triage findings, plan outage scope, and re-inspect after repairs to confirm the fix.

What you get

Deliverables built for action

Every engagement ends with a clear, prioritized report your team can act on — not a data dump. Findings are ranked by severity, tied to specific assets, and accompanied by photos and thermal imagery.

For recurring customers, we trend results year over year so you can see exactly how your reliability program is paying off.

  • Written executive summary with prioritized findings
  • Asset-by-asset condition report with photos and thermal images
  • Severity ratings aligned to NETA / NFPA 70B guidance
  • Repair recommendations with estimated outage scope
  • Year-over-year trending for repeat customers
  • Audit-ready records for insurance and compliance reviews
