Tri Sage provided Construction QA Inspection services for NV Energy’s 120kV transmission line from the Dove Substation to the Greg Street Substation. This project was a challenging 16 mile 120kV line through extreme terrain to provide a critical 120kV source into the Reno and Sparks area. The project scope included the installation of a fiber optic ground wire running the entire line distance, along with a full substation expansion to support the new terminal at the Greg Street location. The project required extensive outage management, agency permitting and challenging engineering constraints. Quality Assurance services for this project included full construction oversight with specific attention and inspection of helicopter structure setting, fiber optic inspection, wire stringing and sagging inspection, material confirmation, and general assurance that standards and engineering requirements were met. The Tri Sage Construction Administration team drew on their education, experience and expertise to minimize change orders and manage the construction contract. All this was completed while maintaining a highly respected relationship with both the client and the contractor.
