Substation projects demand precision across every discipline, and every project type, from greenfield builds and equipment upgrades to full station relocations and refurbishments. K&A's substation engineering solutions cover that full scope, including advanced digital substation work, with the technical depth and execution discipline that utilities, energy developers, and contractors rely on.
K&A's substation engineering services cover the full project lifecycle, from feasibility studies and cost estimates through conceptual and detailed design, upgrades, refurbishments, and technical specifications for supply and construction. Our engineering disciplines span physical design, civil and structural engineering, electrical Studies, relay and control design, protection and control engineering, IEC 61850 and digital substation implementation, and SCADA and substation automation.
K&A engineers substations across the full voltage range, from 2.4 kV to 765 kV. Our Power Delivery team has delivered projects across every major voltage class, serving utilities, energy developers, industrial clients, and contractors across North America and internationally.
Yes. K&A provides owner's engineering support across every phase of a substation project, representing the client's interests from feasibility and design through procurement and construction, ensuring technical standards, schedule, and quality requirements are met throughout delivery.
Yes. Through K&A Services, we provide standalone substation engineering and advisory across every discipline and project phase. Through K&A EPC, we deliver full turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction for substation projects, from conceptual engineering through commissioning and closeout. Clients can engage either division independently or as a combined delivery model, depending on project requirements.
IEC 61850 is the international standard for communication networks and systems in electrical substations, enabling digital integration of protection, control, and automation systems. K&A has direct experience engineering and implementing IEC 61850-based digital substations, including serving as Subject Matter Expert on a client's first digital substation implementation, which became the standard design for all future substation projects in their portfolio.
K&A serves electric utilities, including IOUs, co-ops, and municipal utilities, as well as renewable energy developers, contractors, EPCs, and industrial clients. Our substation engineering teams are active across North America and internationally, supporting projects at every scale and voltage class.
