Supporting Electrification Whenever and Wherever You Need It
The journey to electrification is a marathon, not a sprint. Burns & McDonnell is partnering with forward-thinkers across numerous industries to evaluate existing infrastructure and deploy upgrades needed to drive long-term success.
Utility Investment
Maintaining a modern, reliable grid is becoming ever more complex as the interconnection of intermittent renewables and two-way power supplies complicate the electrical infrastructure. For utilities attempting to meet growing demand — and even exploring electrification of their own fleets of service vehicles — the stakes are high for sustainable, defensible make-ready investments.
Our deep knowledge of the entire electricity ecosystem and integrated team of design and construction professionals gives you industry-leading support, backed by holistic experience from strategy and planning to implementation. With core commitments to quality and safety, we partner with utilities to deliver value, helping you focus on delivering the necessary power.
