Delivering Confidence
Construction can be the most unpredictable phase of substation development. The last things you want are the scheduling delays and cost overruns that come with parts that are missing, incorrect, delayed in shipping or don’t fit as specified. Substation Packaging from Valmont® Utility virtually eliminates the risks associated with substation production. We make sure that when your crews are ready to build your next substation, they have everything they need to get the job done right the first time.
Packaging By Design
Substation Packaging from Valmont Utility begins at the design stage with services that include:
- Creating designs for you - We’ll provide all steel detail drawings, calculations and as-built drawings.
- Working from your designs - We’ll create a material and equipment take-off list from the drawings and specifications that you provide.
No Detail is Too Small
The same project manager who oversees all the engineering and design approvals then follows a meticulous five-step process to create your custom substation package:
- Develop master parts list - From approved drawings, we develop a comprehensive list detailing type, size, quantity and other critical details for each part required for your substation.
- Evaluate competitive bids - We evaluate competitive bids from proven vendors to make sure you’re getting the best combination of quality and delivery timing for the price.
- Manage procurement - We issue and track the myriad purchase orders required to secure all substation parts.
- Inspect materials - As parts arrive from the vendors, we inspect each to confirm it arrived per specifications and is ready for installation.
- Consolidated shipping - Once we have acquired all the approved parts, we consolidate them into as few shipments as possible.
