Transmission Line Construction & Maintenance
Shaw EDS has the tools, talent and technical expertise to construct and maintain a variety of transmission configurations. We have designed, built, and maintained thousands of miles of transmission line, structures and foundations-efficiently and safely-while maintaining our focus on each client's goals and system needs.
Our transmission projects span virtually every size, locale, and topography. From the Piedmont Carolinas and the Texas Gulf to Argentina and the Patagonia desert, we have helped clients meet their system requirements.
We can provide comprehensive project development and execution, augment a client's technical staff, or perform specific construction or maintenance tasks. Over the years, we have developed a keen awareness of the issues and sensitivities associated with transmission siting and construction. We place towers, poles, and cable in context with environmental, land use, and aesthetic considerations. Our engineering expertise is matched by a dedication to safe, economical, reliable, and environmentally acceptable power delivery solutions.
