“The presenters were well-qualified and provided a great presentation. I appreciated the information and advice they provided, which validated many of the things I was already doing right as well as provided insights to what I could do better. Thank you!”
Transmission and Facility Siting Consultant, Arizona Public Service“The team provided excellent insight into best practices and tips for legal defensibility for transmission line siting and routing that can help public and private utilities and consultants.”
Principal Team Lead, SWCA“Great overview of the engineering and construction challenges facing transmission line siting as well as a great overview of the siting process.”
Environmental Planner, Electrical Consultants, Inc.The electric transmission siting and routing process is an iterative effort that must comprehensively account for risks ranging from environmental and land use impacts to engineering design costs and constructability challenges. All too often, transmission projects overlook engineering and constructability considerations during the siting process, leading to potential costly headaches later in the project lifecycle as the proposed routes require refinement. This course will demonstrate why it is essential to integrate engineering, construction, and transmission design expertise early in the electric transmission siting process to avoid these pitfalls. Attendees will also explore the use of GIS-based suitability modeling, preliminary PLS-CADD analysis, and contractor-informed constructability insights to strengthen route justification, reduce risk, and improve project outcomes.
