“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.”

Hitting the streets for your success
Road monitoring and roadway authority liaison services for construction are another dimension of our substation services. To start, we use our geospatial imaging vehicle to perform video documentation. One of our seasoned transportation engineers reviews the video, and we meet with the appropriate road authorities to close the loop on a project’s initial stages, including working with our clients to develop and negotiate road-use agreements. Our multidiscipline team completes any environmental assessments and permitting a project may require. For the construction phase, we conduct regular road monitoring and secure the road authorities’ final signoff.
What do your substation needs entail? Let us help you uncover your ideal solution.
In-depth analysis for strong foundations
Our depth of geotechnical experience enables us to work through the challenges that come with digging beneath the surface. We routinely provide:
- utility clearances
- drilling
- sample collection and identification
- borehole sealing
- resistivity testing
We use the results of these subsurface tasks to deliver geotechnical analyses, recommendations and design parameters to our clients in a consistent format that allows for easy data extraction when determining the best foundation design options.
We can also address the surveying, boring staking and construction layout needs that go with substation foundation projects. Our team can provide easement legal descriptions and prepare exhibits, conduct topographic surveys, handle pole and anchor staking for construction and perform pier deflection measurements.
