CoreGrid Engineering

Services

Engineering Services

Detailed design and engineering is our primary service and pre-bid engineering is our second. Both apply across six infrastructure sectors and are delivered through two core disciplines: electrical, and civil and structural.

By engagement

Engineering services

Detailed design and engineering comes first and pre-bid engineering second. Studies, review and support are taken on as the contract defines.

Primary service

Detailed Design & Engineering

Complete or partial post-award design for the electrical, civil and structural packages of a project: design criteria, calculations, drawings, schedules, BOQ and comment resolution through to final submission. This is our primary service.

Detailed Design & Engineering
Second service

Pre-Bid Engineering

Specification and MDL review, preliminary SLD and layouts, quantity take-off, offer and GTP comparison, and clarifications, so an EPC bid is priced against stated assumptions. This is our second service.

Pre-Bid Engineering
As contracted

Power System & Protection Studies

Load flow, short-circuit, insulation coordination, harmonics, transients, protection coordination, reactive power and grid interconnection studies, each offered on a stated basis.

Power System & Protection Studies
As contracted

Technical Review & Project Support

Design checking, technical offer and GTP review, vendor drawing review, inspection and FAT witnessing, SCADA and interface engineering, and site, commissioning and O&M technical support, as contracted.

Technical Review & Project Support

By infrastructure

Infrastructure sectors

Where we apply that work. Each sector page sets out scope, inputs, calculations, drawings and interfaces.

AC engineering up to 765 kV

AIS/GIS Substations & Switchyards

Electrical, civil and structural design for air- and gas-insulated substations and switchyards: new stations, bay extensions and interconnecting transformer yards.

HVDC Systems

Supporting engineering for bipolar and back-to-back schemes (service range up to ±512 kV / 2500 MW): AC-side, station and design-interface activities, as contracted.

HVDC Systems

By discipline

Engineering disciplines

Electrical and civil/structural are disciplines. Substations, renewable plants, storage, lines and HVDC are the infrastructure they serve.

Discipline

Electrical Design & Engineering

SLD and Erection Key Diagrams, AIS/GIS layouts, conductor and busbar calculations, earthing and lightning protection, equipment ratings, auxiliary AC/DC, cables, illumination, and protection and SCADA interfaces where in scope.

Electrical Design & Engineering
Discipline

Civil & Structural Design & Engineering

Site grading, steel structures, equipment and transformer foundations, oil containment, control and GIS buildings, cable trenches, drainage, roads and fencing, with reinforcement drawings, BBS and quantities.

Civil & Structural Design & Engineering

Ways to engage

A complete package

A defined discipline package, such as the electrical or civil design of a substation, taken through to final issue.

An individual calculation or drawing set

Earthing, bus calculations, a foundation design or a tower check, prepared against your design basis.

Review and checking

Vendor drawings, GTPs, offers or an existing design reviewed against the specification.
