Power Transmission HIGH VOLTAGE OVERHEAD AND UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

UGL delivers leading design, supply, construction and maintenance solutions for overhead and underground electrical transmission and distribution systems.To meet the growing energy demands and challenges and to help utilities and large electro-intensive industries such as railway, oil & gas and minerals & metals, UGL’s design and engineering teams work hand in hand with clients to develop tailored and cost effective solutions.

Well positioned to meet the energy challenges of today and tomorrow, UGL boasts expertise which has always ensured higher safety, reliability and capacity of power grids throughout Australia and New Zealand. UGL has assembled extensive specialised plant and equipment and in-house design expertise capable of undertaking turnkey projects up to 500kV. Our commitment to safety, customer satisfaction and a responsible approach to environmental management, enable UGL to maximise client deliverables.

The benefits we deliverCOMPLETE TURNKEY, ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION (EPC)Clients reduce risk and cost through the reduction in the number of interfaces provided by UGL’s complete project solution. From a single point of contact, UGL manages entire power projects beginning with in-house engineering, procurement and construction through to start up and commissioning. Clients can take advantage of UGL’s unique blend of core competencies to allow faster completion of projects, improved performance, reduced risks and lower costs across greenfield and brownfield projects.

GREATER EFFICIENCIESUGL’s power infrastructure solutions are designed to reach greater efficiencies. Clients will benefit from our ability to draw from a wide variety of leading technologies and UGL’s world’s best practice engineering capability. From flexible gas fired power plants that can meet fluctuating energy requirements to integrated transmission and distribution networks that increase power supply availability, functionality and reliability, UGL’s solutions can enable improved productivity.

CLEANER POWERBy integrating cleaner technologies from leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and employing the most efficient engineering solution, UGL is able to deliver power infrastructure that reduces its environmental impact. For power generation, UGL delivers gas-fired open-cycle, combined-cycle, co-generation and tri-generation power plants which are highly efficient and produce significantly less CO2 emissions. In the power transmission and distribution sector, UGL seeks to capitalise upon technological developments that are making electrical grids more capable of integrating energy from renewable sources.

SOLUTIONS FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLECommitted to maintaining our partnership with clients well after a plant is commissioned, UGL has extensive experience in supplying and servicing power infrastructure. We offer comprehensive whole of life solutions for power assets that help our clients achieve competitiveness and profitability ensuring long term operational success. Whatever the application, our offerings will meet the requirements for efficiency, reliability and environmental compatibility, providing lower life-cycle costs and the best possible return on investment.

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONSWith the capability to deliver fully integrated energy networks, UGL provides its clients with tailor made solutions that optimise local conditions and specific business environments. Across power generation, power transmission and distribution, UGL draws from a wide body of engineering knowledge and a leading portfolio of advanced technologies to deliver a total solution.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGYWe recognise the need to partner with the world’s leading technology providers in order to deliver the most advanced solutions. Our partnerships with General Electric (GE), Mitsubishi and Siemens amongst others, allows us to lead the way as the ‘integrator’ in the delivery of cutting edge technologies and solutions. Working closely with OEM partners provides UGL with access to an array of next generation technologies that meet the energy needs of tomorrow, from higher efficiency to fewer emissions.

BUILDING LONG TERM CLIENT RELATIONSHIPSIn everything we do, we strive to build long-term relationships with our clients to ensure operational success. This approach extends to the development and wellbeing of our staff, subcontractors and suppliers. UGL strives to become an organic extension of our clients’ businesses, providing high levels of service, together with a strong customer commitment and focus.

Our ServicesSub-industries

ExTRA HIGH -VOLTAGE (EHV) TRANSMISSION LINES UP TO 500KVThe design, procurement, construction and refurbishment of efficient and reliable overhead transmission lines forms UGL’s core offering in the power transmission industry. Our innovative solutions for Extra High-Voltage (EHV) transmission lines are being used around Australia and New Zealand to efficiently connect wind farms with mainland power grids, to transport electricity over long distances with minimum loss and to link regional power grids with one another.

Efficient power transmission is the cornerstone of sustainable, ecofriendly and climate-compatible energy systems. Our role, as a regional leader in overhead transmission line solutions is to help our clients make the right decisions which enable an optimal return on their investment.

UGL shares the responsibility of improving project outcomes, working closely with clients to manage risk effectively and to ensure that long-term, sustainable value is delivered, whilst minimising cost throughout the asset lifecycle.

ExTRA HIGH -VOLTAGE (EHV) UNDERGROUND CABLES UP TO 400KVThe backbone of the electric power supply usually consists of extra high-voltage cable systems. Solutions of increasing technical sophistication are required in large cities as well as for the development of the power supply in regional areas.

Specialist construction techniques for the delivery of cabling systems developed by UGL have overcome major challenges and led to significant improvements in minimising risk and maximising efficiency.

Working collaboratively with clients, UGL can offer the full range of services for extra high-voltage cable systems up to 400 kV from a single source, starting with cable engineering design and construction up to the final test and ongoing maintenance after installation. Our expertise in delivering cabling solutions effectively links offshore and onshore power generation to substations and to grid networks.

UGL is one of only a few specialist providers with the ability to operate across the spectrum from 132kV to 400kV, providing a portfolio of services that includes the ability to assess feasibility and scope the detailed requirements of a contract in advance of construction.
