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. We specialize in each aspect of the power delivery process:
Hanson can provide technical and operational services to directly support utilities in developing and implementing customer programs such as electric vehicles, demand-side management, rooftop solar and energy storage, outdoor lighting and more. Many utilities see these programs through the lens of affordability. Electric rates are reduced through subscription-based revenue services that don’t depend on selling power; these services reduce the revenue requirement for electric rates. These reduced revenue requirements can translate into lower power costs for your customers on power they consume and increase adoption of the valuable customer-facing programs that support conservation and sustainability, benefitting the communities you serve. We can help you capitalize on these programs and opportunities every step of the way, from business case development and regulatory strategies to program management, execution, staff development and training.
Smart LED outdoor lighting is a major step forward for utility companies, and we can help you bring your residents the benefits of smart lighting-led network services, from security cameras and drone response to gunshot detection. LED lighting increases your base revenues without raising your customers’ lighting rates. Plus, LED offers better nighttime visibility, which can help improve safety and reduce driving hazards.
From an environmental standpoint, smart outdoor lighting improves energy efficiency by employing adaptive lighting, remote management, motion sensors and data collection to reduce light pollution and energy consumption. Smarter technology equals cost savings for your customers — a win-win for your community.
Hanson can support integrating sensors and cloud-based intelligence to deliver a system for addressing broad topics such as asset management, mobility, resiliency, community safety and economic development. We also use on-premise and hosted software solutions designed to support asset management and transmission line siting, along with expedited foundation design and subsurface soil prediction. We can help you with data-driven decision-making and proactive planning that are critical for a future-ready urban environment. Read more of our smart cities thought leadership on our blog.
“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 has had an amazing impact on the clients served across our 70-plus-year history, and we continue to deliver superior value through our innovation, earned trust and consistent execution. We are a true partner to our clients.”
“I’m driven by the challenge of using strategic thinking and technology to help Hanson and our clients solve complex challenges and be more successful. At Hanson, we’re constantly exploring innovative solutions that bring value to our organization and clients by working smarter.”
