Principle Services supported a multi-site utility substation and transmission program by providing disciplined field oversight and owner-focused project management. Our team worked alongside the owner and contractors to ensure construction activities aligned with approved plans, safety standards, and regulatory requirements.

Through consistent on-site inspection, coordinated construction management, and transparent reporting, Principle helped maintain schedule alignment, reinforce quality installation, and proactively identify constructability concerns before they impacted progress.

Our involvement provided the owner with real-time visibility across multiple work fronts, strengthened accountability among stakeholders, and ensured long-term performance considerations were addressed throughout construction.

In 2016, Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) began the process of moving their load and generation from Southwest Power Pool (SPP) into Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). This transition required ~5 years and $481 million to complete the significant amount of transmission and substation work. LP&L typically built $10 million in annual capex, so this program required dramatic changes in their resources. They contracted with Principle Services, LLC to act as their Project Management Office (PMO), helping them guarantee adherence to scope, schedule, and budget constraints.
