Summary

Utilities face a number of new demands on power infrastructure, while also facing the need for replacement or upgrades of aging transmission assets. The task becomes even more challenging when assets are in dense urban areas and utilize various underground transmission technologies. How should utilities approach and plan for underground projects?

We hope you can join us for a live webinar discussing key considerations, design approaches and potential technologies available for these challenging projects. We will cover:

• Planning of the cable replacement.
• Understanding the current and future operational needs of the circuit.
• Routing considerations.
• Installation methodology options.
• Cable technologies available.
• Potential project delivery methods and risks.
