Scope of Services:
- Site development & general arrangement drawings
- HV equipment selection and placement (breakers, CTs, PTs, switches, etc.)
- Bus configurations (single bus, breaker-and-a-half, ring bus, etc.)
- Equipment layout (plan, elevation, and section views)
- Grounding system analysis and design per IEEE 80
- Lightning protection & shielding design (IEEE 998)
- Conduit and cable trench routing
- Steel structures and foundation design coordination
- Yard lighting and fencing requirements
- Civil/electrical interface and equipment clearances per NESC/IEEE
