Case Studies


System Wide Distribution Improvement and Materials Management Seeking to improve services reliability, a utility wanted to begin a large scale distribution improvement program. Lacking adequate in-house resources to prepare work orders on schedule, they contracted Wagner Technical to perform the work. Projects included reconductoring, recloser installation, conversions and switch installations. The five year program was a success and the utility successfully met their construction goals.
Large Scale Distribution Voltage Conversion A large electric utility was elimiting a medium-sized 4.8kV substation and resupplying the area with new circuits from an existing 13.8kV substation. Wagner Technical assigned four technicians to the job which involved reconductoring, new switches, transformer replacement and over 800 poles. The client's engineering department provided us with one-line diagrams and standards. We completed the work order packages to be given to the construction crews.
Underground Reconductoring of Large Industrial Park An industrial utility park was suffering the effects of a nearly 30 year old underground direct-buried distribution system. Using design criteria provided by the utility's engineering department, Wagner Technical laid out the a new duct bank system and prepared all the work orders for the project.
Stray Voltage Data Management A New York based utility wanted to implement a stray voltage testing program to comply with new public service commission regulations. They were under a tight deadline and there was no commercial solution available. Wagner Technical developed a custom software package using handheld computers with GPS for data collection. We then managed the data and provided the utility with reports and mapping to satisfy their internal requirements as well as the public service commission.
URD Subdivisions A utility was facing a sudden increase in new business and had several underground subdivisions in need of immediate layout and work order preparation. Wagner Technical met with the utility and the developers of the subdivision and created the layouts using AutoCAD and the work orders in the utility's own work management system.
