Our experienced team of engineers work closely with clients to develop and complete detailed engineering for transmission line projects. With 40+ years of experience, the group offers complete design packages and individual T-Line design services for new, rebuild, reconductor, and/or existing projects. Contact us today for an assessment of your project opportunities.
Project Management Services
At RRC, we value innovation and offer a unique, concurrent engineering package that allows for various engineering disciplines to occur simultaneously. The package, which includes transmission line engineering, saves valuable overall project time and enhances interaction between engineering disciplines.
Our streamlined Multi-Discipline Project Management package offers one point of contact managing various disciplines needed in your project. Our concurrent engineering packages can often save weeks on the project schedule. Contact us today for an assessment of your project needs.
