Industry-Leading Utility Infrastructure Solutions

​Excellence in Utility Infrastructure

Recognized for our expertise in high-profile utility infrastructure projects, we have earned national ACEC awards for our innovative work. As a leader in utility design, we deliver energy-efficient, cost-effective, and highly reliable solutions.

 

Efficient Utilities = Competitive Advantage

Operational utility costs directly impact production costs and global competitiveness. Our utilities engineers specialize in identifying and implementing energy-saving opportunities that reduce operational expenses—whether for new installations or legacy systems—helping our clients maintain a competitive edge.

 

Utility Infrastructure Planning

Planning utility infrastructure for cost-efficient growth and strategic change is critical. We help clients develop site expansion plans that optimize existing utility resources while creating a roadmap for the most efficient future capacity expansions.

 

Our comprehensive approach starts with a detailed review of site master plans, sustainability goals, anticipated growth, current utility system performance, single points of failure, and operational costs. We align future capacity requirements with sustainability, redundancy, and maintainability goals to deliver long-term, cost-effective utility expansion plans.

 

Utility Infrastructure Design

Our approach to utility infrastructure design maximizes client investments through state-of-the-art planning for utility generation and distribution systems. Backed by plant operations experience, our utility specialists ensure that designs meet system requirements, minimize downtime, and maintain service continuity.

 

With lean project management and innovative design solutions, we deliver large-scale, fast-track utility projects that enhance the value of your assets and increase long-term business success.

 

Legacy Utility Infrastructure Solutions

We provide energy reduction strategies, equipment upgrades, and reliability enhancements for clients with existing utility infrastructures to ensure maximum efficiency. Our expertise in continuity of operations (COOP) allows us to execute complex projects without disrupting ongoing operations.

 

Whether updating infrastructure documentation, expanding utility capacities, or optimizing systems, we deliver cost-effective, high-performance solutions that extend the life of legacy utilities.

 

HIPP Plant Insights®

Our proprietary Plant Insights® platform provides executives and project teams with actionable utility data to make faster, more informed business decisions. Through advanced data visualization, Plant Insights® identifies utility capacity constraints and evaluates the impact of planned projects across various locations.

 

Utility Optimization Solutions

Maximizing the value of legacy utility infrastructure is critical in today’s competitive global market. We begin with an in-depth field survey to assess system capacity, condition, energy usage, and potential risks, such as single points of failure.

 

Our engineers model the utility systems and conduct goal-seeking simulations to identify optimal design alternatives that balance performance and cost. This approach significantly improves system efficiency, reliability, and long-term value for our clients.
