Power stations

Substation design services

At Alterga, we provide a comprehensive range of design services for power substations, including full EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) turnkey project delivery. Our offer covers conceptual, construction, and detailed design phases, along with preparation of complete design documentation, technical audits, engineering analyses, and expert consulting at every stage of project development and implementation.
Substation design involves multiple phases of work that result in a complete and technically compliant project. The documentation package includes various technical specifications, drawings, layout plans, geodetic surveys, geotechnical studies, environmental impact assessments, substation layout designs, and more. The scope of required documentation varies depending on the voltage level of the substation – whether medium-voltage (MV) or high-voltage (HV).
Alterga has been delivering diverse substation design solutions for years. We develop advanced AIS (Air-Insulated Switchgear) and GIS (Gas-Insulated Switchgear) substations, offering air- or gas-insulated configurations that comply with applicable standards and incorporate state-of-the-art technologies, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) environments.

Substation modernization

Design documentation is essential not only for new investments but also in the modernization of existing substations. We offer technical audits of operational facilities, which serve as the basis for the upgrade project design.

This includes recommendations for the selection of components and systems to optimize both technical and economic performance, as well as designs for the reconstruction of foundations, support structures, or replacement of individual substation components.

The aim of modernization projects is to upgrade substations to meet new regulatory or technological standards, implement modern solutions, and improve energy efficiency. In many cases, modernization is driven by the need to replace obsolete or worn-out equipment, which directly affects the reliability and operational safety of the facility. Enhancing the performance and efficiency of existing substations is often a viable and more cost-effective alternative to constructing entirely new infrastructure. In this field, Alterga’s specialists provide professional and reliable support.
