Whether you’re a utility company, a developer, a public-sector entity or part of the private industry, the evolving energy landscape is complex and everchanging. To navigate it all, you need the innovative solutions and comprehensive services of a team dedicated to helping you thrive. With capabilities spanning renewable energy, grid modernization and traditional power generation, our dedicated team delivers project-specific engineering, environmental and technical consulting support.
INVALUABLE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE“Hanson has served Vistra well in numerous engineering areas. Their team develops expertise by hiring experienced professionals with knowledge and relationships with regulatory agencies and also training staff in the same areas. For us, this type of experience and knowledge is invaluable.” — Victor Modeer, engineering manager, geoscience, Vistra Corp.
We employ cutting-edge technologies, such as SPEED® and DOT-US, and our market experience enhances our understanding of regulatory environments so we can help you improve your energy operations. Whether it’s designing energy-efficient infrastructure, improving grid reliability or supporting clean energy transitions, we apply our technical capabilities to your challenges and support your long-term environmental and economic goals.
With our blend of innovation and practical knowledge, we are your trusted partner as you seek to improve your power systems and adapt to new energy trends. Our services span all stages of power projects, from feasibility studies and permitting to design, construction and ongoing support, including the wide variety of technical disciplines that support each phase. Find out how we can energize your project vision.
Nothing should come between your community and the energy it needs to flourish. We work hard to design systems that transmit energy to your end users — the homes, businesses and industries that depend on it. Our team understands the management needed to balance power supply and demand and promote grid reliability and efficiency. Find out more.
Navigating complex transmission and distribution (T&D) project landscapes can be a time-consuming and stressful process, but our experienced team will make a path for you. From evaluating potential routes to aligning your project with regulatory requirements and facilitating stakeholder engagement, our broad knowledge of local and federal permitting processes helps you streamline project approvals and gain critical public support.
In addition to planning and permitting services, we provide robust design and construction-phase support, including geotechnical, electrical, structural and civil engineering capabilities, as well as services for battery energy storage systems. When you partner with us, you benefit from our proprietary SPEED® program, which rapidly evaluates subsurface conditions and allows us to efficiently design location-specific foundations. Our engineers employ local contractors to conduct subsurface investigations, analyze soil and foundation conditions and provide solutions for floodway construction and river engineering as the infrastructure traverses these areas. With our nationwide presence and collaborative approach, we can mobilize quickly while offering the personalized attention your project needs.
With advanced hydraulic modeling and Federal Emergency Management Agency study experience, as well as construction-phase quality control and road monitoring services, we design your T&D projects to meet safety, efficiency and regulatory standards. We also provide the land acquisition and real estate surveying services T&D projects often require, with specialized staff members who manage the delicate process of property acquisition. With a focus on maintaining project schedules and budgets, our land acquisition professionals work closely with property owners to negotiate easements and crop damage assessment assistance when necessary. Our extensive experience in these areas can help you navigate the legal, logistical and interpersonal challenges of acquiring land for T&D infrastructure.
We also offer internal and external stakeholder concurrence support services to assist your team in choosing which sites and related transmission and distribution routes are most favorable for permitting and public support.

We bring specialized experience to projects involving the management of coal combustion residuals (CCR) from power-generating facilities. Our involvement includes site evaluations and alternatives analyses; design; permitting; construction and monitoring of dry landfills, ash ponds, gypsum stacks and associated structures; as well as beneficial-use projects. We also provide design, permitting and construction-phase services for the closure of ash ponds and other ash-disposal facilities. Additionally, Hanson offers specialized services including environmental and hydrogeologic impact studies and closure plans, as well as implementation and long-term monitoring.
Our team has the experience and skills to overcome your challenges related to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Final Rule” regulating utility-generated CCR. We also offer waste management services to a variety of clients in communications, industrial, utility, petroleum and government sectors.

Several technologies and strategies associated with modern power grids are enhancing energy infrastructure. Smart grids and advanced distribution management systems improve the efficiency and reliability of power distribution, while microgrids boost resilience by using a variety of energy sources. Find out the ways Hanson can help you upgrade your power grid.
Energy services go beyond just supporting power delivery and generation; they directly engage the community with customer programs that matter. Our energy services are designed to help you manage and make the most of the generation, transmission, distribution and energy consumption of energy that support your community. Find out more.
Whether you’re a utility, an independent power producer, a grid operator, a renewable energy company or an industrial consumer, effective asset evaluation and management require knowing the location of your physical infrastructure and the condition, performance and lifecycle of your assets. Find out more.
There’s a better way to plan and design your transmission tower foundations, and we have it — in the form of our smart, efficient Subsurface Prediction and Expedited Engineering Design (SPEED®) and Soil.AI technology. Learn how you can speed up your construction schedule and lower your project costs.
Whether you’re seeking guidance with solar or wind power or want to know more about battery energy storage system projects, our power team has the knowledge to move you a step closer to sustainability.
Are you looking to update or expand your substation infrastructure? Do you need a geotechnical investigation or road monitoring? Our skilled and knowledgeable engineers partner with you to reach your goals.
How your community weathers a natural disaster depends on how well you prepare. We can help you strengthen your resilience with smart strategies and boots-on-the-ground responsiveness right when you need it most.
“I joined Hanson because of its excellent technical reputation. I left the company after 10 years to move back ‘home’ but returned to Hanson less than 2 years later because of the people and clients – and that was 25 years ago! It has been easy to stay with Hanson.”
“One of the best parts of a project is watching what has been in my mind, on paper or in the computer model come to life.”
Hanson’s commitment to our clients reflects our allegiance to our most valued asset — our employee-owners. We invest in you. Find out how you can forge your path with us.
