At Aldridge, we’re working to build and strengthen America’s infrastructure every day across the country. In today’s digitally connected world, we continue to see a strain on the power grid. Couple that with extreme weather conditions, and it has become more important than ever to deliver reliable and resilient power across America.
With traditional air-insulated substations, keeping these critical facilities safe is an important consideration. High-profile projects, especially like the ones in our nation’s capital, require the installation of fully integrated security systems.
Aldridge has the unique ability to self-perform the entire scope of a substation project, including perimeter protection. Our constructability and value-engineered solutions include the utilization of our prefabrication shop to increase efficiencies and reduce waste.
In the DC metro area, our team of nearly 100 dedicated resources is improving infrastructure throughout our nation’s capital. Our substation and perimeter protection program is in full swing, bringing innovative solutions to these utility projects.
The demand for more power is growing and with little to no room available for large substations in urban environments, more and more utilities are utilizing gas-insulated substations (GIS). Beyond the space-saving benefits, GIS substations offer significantly less maintenance, a safer product with less potential for arc flash, and enhanced security.
