Our Services

Magna IV Engineering includes experienced engineers and technicians who have worked on many medium- and high-voltage substation design projects. Our substation engineering and design services can include:

• Project management: Our project and construction management services help power utilities and stakeholders navigate every step of a new build or upgrade, ensuring safety and ultimate performance. We oversee the big picture, coordinate multiple teams and communicate transparently.

• Planning and design: Our substation engineering design services handle the site analysis, the layout design of your site, floor plans, grading and foundation designs. We plan the entire layout, including structural, electrical, architectural, mechanical, HVAC and ventilating systems. We offer bus span calculations, plans for the entire electrical arrangement and one- and three-line diagrams. Our experts conduct coordination studies, setting calculations, and switchyard lighting calculations and design. We ensure you have schematics for relays, controls, signaling, and cable and conduit plans.

• Protection: Our personnel offer protective relay selection, lightning shielding and services to evaluate risks at existing substations. Our engineers can develop systems to protect your personnel and equipment from arc-flash incidents and other hazards.

• Monitoring and control: Our team conducts acceptance and maintenance testing to ensure your system meets requirements. Before energizing your substation, our functional testing of control, signaling and substation protection circuits ensures that the communication and electrical components work as required in real-world conditions. We also help you monitor your substation with SCADA, sequence of events, annunciator and fault recorder designs that provide accurate, real-time data.

• Supply management: Upgrading and new builds require multiple components, including transformers, capacitor banks, buses, lines, circuit breakers and reactors. We provide you with bills of material and equipment specifications. Our team can help you determine which components are most innovative and appropriate for your project and support you with procurement services.

• Documentation: Our team prepares maintenance and operation manuals and the documentation you need for the successful operation of your substation.

• Training: Our training services for operations and maintenance teams are led by professionals with field and classroom experience, enabling them to create comprehensive training materials and deliver clear, actionable training. Our experts break down complex ideas into clear concepts.
