Structure design
Dead-end structures, A-frames, bus supports and equipment stands designed for the loads of a working substation.
Substation
Substation structural and foundation engineering
Structural design for the steel and foundations that hold a substation together, from dead-end structures and bus supports to equipment stands, sealed to CSA and ASCE standards.
Overview
The structural backbone of the substation
A substation depends on steel that carries conductors, supports heavy equipment and survives extreme loads for decades. MADI Consulting provides the structural and foundation engineering behind that steel. We design dead-end structures, bus supports, equipment stands and their foundations, then seal the package for construction.
Because we also design the lines that enter the yard, we understand the transmission and distribution loads arriving at the dead-end, which makes for a cleaner, better-coordinated structural design.
Foundation engineering
Spread, pier and pile foundations sized for structure reactions, uplift and seismic demand.
Code compliance
Designs verified to CSA, ASCE 113 substation structure guidance and utility-specific standards.
Sealed drawings
Structural and foundation drawings, anchor bolt plans and calculations sealed by a Professional Engineer.
