Storm Hardening Services

In the past, it was not deemed economical to design distribution systems to withstand major weather events such as hurricanes, linear wind storms, and ice storms. The expectation was that utilities would be prepared for timely customer restorations and repairs. Today, expectations are changing and have changed, and utilities are increasingly being expected to “harden” their system so that less damage occurs during such events. More broadly, utilities are being encouraged to have “resilient systems,” meaning the utilities consider hardening along with protection, switching, vegetation management, and other factors. Quanta Technology has helped dozens of utilities address nearly every aspect of this complicated endeavor. Our storm hardening projects are designed to and typically customized based on specific customer needs, but below the typical engagement areas are described.
