Distribution Line Design
The experienced distribution line design professionals at MEI are able to create virtually any distribution power line configuration. We have expertise in all aspects of utility, industrial, and institutional power distribution engineering. Our team has designed and field staked thousands of miles of underground and overhead distribution power lines for all distribution class voltages. We have a reputation for efficiency and safety, as well as meeting each client’s schedule, goals and system needs. We go beyond standard engineering services to offer expertise in utility operations to include right-of-way practices, work package development and closing, customer charging policies, rates, unit estimating systems, outage analysis, joint use, and standard utility designs. Our utility clients value our knowledge, and we specialize in areas that often present a challenge to utility operations.
