FAQs

Frequently Asked
Questions

Does K&A handle both new transmission line builds and upgrades to existing infrastructure?

Yes. K&A's transmission engineering scope covers new overhead transmission line construction as well as engineering design for new lines, upgrades, uprates, and optimization of existing infrastructure. Whether the project involves building new lines from the ground up or extending the life and capacity of existing assets, K&A provides the full engineering scope in-house.

What voltage ranges does K&A's transmission line engineering cover?

K&A's transmission line engineering team works across the full voltage range, from lower distribution-level voltages through high-voltage transmission. Contact our team to discuss the specific voltage requirements of your project.

Can K&A manage the full project scope or just specific phases?

K&A provides end-to-end transmission line engineering, from initial condition assessment and environmental review through detailed design, construction support, and drawing reviews. Clients work with one team across every phase, without gaps in scope or handoffs between firms.

What types of transmission line structures does K&A design for?

K&A's transmission line engineers design for a full range of structure types, including wood poles, concrete poles, FRP poles, steel poles, H-frames, A-frames, and lattice towers. This covers both new structure design and assessment and engineering of existing structures across upgrade and uprate programs.

Does K&A offer full EPC delivery for transmission line projects?

For clients requiring delivery beyond engineering, K&A EPC provides turnkey transmission line project delivery, from detailed engineering and procurement through construction and commissioning.

Does K&A provide substation engineering alongside transmission line work?

Yes. Transmission line projects frequently require coordinated substation engineering at termination points. K&A provides full substation engineering services, covering physical design, protection and control, and SCADA, alongside transmission line engineering under one team.
