End to End Reliability
Overhead, Underground, or Anywhere in Between. We Have You Covered.
As power demands continue to grow across various industries, the need for reliable transmission capacity becomes increasingly crucial. Whether you’re planning to build new greenfield transmission lines or upgrade existing facilities, our experienced team is equipped to deliver innovative solutions quickly and cost-effectively.
At NEI, our transmission team brings extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients on projects spanning from distribution level to 500kV. We have successfully executed overhead transmission projects using various structure types, including but not limited to: concrete, fiberglass, steel, and wood. Additionally, we have completed various stages of underground transmission projects, from feasibility studies to design and construction. No project is too large, too small, or too complex for us to handle.
The team at NEI recognizes that every project and client have different needs and constraints, which require unique solutions and project approaches. At NEI we strive to understand the “why” behind the project, and partner with our clients to navigate project challenges. Our goal is to provide best-in-class transmission solutions to keep the lights on. We understand the details without missing the big picture.
