Substation Inspections

A trained set of eyes through a substation every quarter catches what test equipment misses — oil leaks, corroded steel, broken arresters, missing labels, missing PPE in the control house. We run inspection rounds aligned with utility procedures and NERC PRC-005 requirements, with photographic reports.

What we test
  • Visual inspection of yard apparatus and structures
  • Oil and SF6 leak inspection
  • Surge arrester and bushing condition checks
  • Control house, batteries, and DC system walkdown
  • Grounding, fencing, and signage verification
  • Animal mitigation and vegetation assessment
  • Photographic report with priority action list
Standards we follow

NERC PRC-005 (Protection System Maintenance) · IEEE C2 (National Electrical Safety Code) · NFPA 70B

Apparatus covered

Distribution and transmission substations, switchyards, plant substations, collector substations.

Reports you get

Every visit ends with a documented report: raw test data, calibrated instrument records, anomaly findings with severity ranking, photos, and a clear recommended-action list. Trends are tracked across visits.
