Substations

We have delivered substation design, construction and commissioning work scopes across some of Australia’s most significant utility projects.

Genus has delivered High Voltage Substation packages for mission critical installations across the country. With extensive expertise and in-house design capability, we have completed a number of HV substation projects, both AIS and GIS.

Our combined experience spans Power Systems, Electrical Control Systems, and Civil Engineering covering all disciplines involved in substation design – Primary, Secondary, SCADA, Communications, Protection, Civil, Structural, Testing and Commissioning.

Early-Phase Design

Concept Design: Preparation of Single Line Diagrams and Substation Layouts
Specifications: Preparation of Technical Specifications for all HV and LV substations equipment
