Energy and Power companies often serve customers across wide-regional expanses. As the competitive pressures of deregulated markets force companies to maximize their efficiencies, and sources of energy continue to evolve, utility companies are tasked with keeping pace with the changes while maintaining high levels of customer service across their grids. Whether the utilities are handling electrical power, natural gas, solar power, mineral extraction, wind power or other sources, they often need technical assistance in meeting their objectives for facility expansion and upgrades. They must also meet strict regulatory guidelines for expansion of their distribution systems. BHI’s engineers provide a full range of support for utilities, including facility infrastructure design, structural design (substation, plant), planning/permitting, construction management, mechanical engineering (process, piping and HVAC), electrical engineering (power, controls, communications and lighting), water resources design (planning, distribution and treatment) and entitlement/development assistance.
