Underground Transmission Fundamentals
January 18, 2023 | Denver, CO and Online
“The course was very applicable and started with the very basics so even if you had no experience, you could follow the presenters.” NYPA Attendee
“Course was very detailed on the aspects of the underground transmission planning, design, and construction; highly recommend to anyone who would take part in one of those areas of a project.” Project Engineer I, NYPA
“Excellent course from individuals who not only teach but practice in the field.” Senior Project Engineer, NYPA
Underground transmission is a costly and complicated option for transmission projects. This course will provide an in-depth overview of underground systems, technology, construction, and installation. This is the ideal course for engineers new to underground transmission projects, regulatory staff that needs an overview to evaluate project options and vendors and contractors that support utilities as they build new transmission.
