Specifically working very closely with the FPL team for FPL designs, reconductoring, ampacity upgrades and insulator replacement projects in Florida. Working in PLS-CADD & PLS Pole to design new transmission lines, current line ampacity upgrades, and insulator replacements. Modeling existing configuration in PLSCADD utilizing LiDAR and designing transmission lines to ensure efficiency and safety. Running EMF and damper calculations for designs to ensure guidelines are met. Calculating moment and blow out to follow client's requirements. Using NESC code as well as client criteria to determine pole placement and span lengths. Field visiting design areas to ensure no obstacles to design, working with real estate as needed to ensure land rights maintained and determining MOT and permits with construction team. Ordering all materials to complete project, including processing and pushing materials for ordering purposes. Compiling and checking accuracy of all paperwork before issuing to construction. Ensuring all permits required are submitted and will be ready when construction starts. Maintaining communication with FPL team on projects and giving updates. Compiling project books for projects as well as peer reviewing project books to ensure quality and completeness. Completing pole borings as well as ordering poles (HP1) and ensuring all materials will be ready for construction start date. Close communication with construction groups regarding any questions and concerns for the project promptly and accurately.
