Engineering
Many of our engineers come from utility backgrounds, giving them a unique perspective and appreciation of the challenges our clients face.
Permitting Support
We couple our full-range of engineering expertise with support of the environmental permitting process and the construction planning and coordination with numerous local, state and federal agencies with informative exhibits, presentations, and submittal drawings.
Civil Engineering and Field Services
Our engineers have designed, permitted, inspected and assisted with construction management of the installation of over 1,000 miles of access roads and right-of-way improvements through wetlands, low water crossings, tidal crossings and unstable upland areas.
GIS & Field Services
Our GIS team facilitates the sharing of data, providing property information, wetland delineation, land use data and other geographic data between engineering and field services.
Structural
Our engineers have extensive backgrounds in analysis and design of concrete, steel and wood structures, and their associated foundations, as well as bridge and culvert design, retaining wall design and rehabilitation, and structural forensics and inspections.
- Analysis, design and repair/remediation of direct buried, drilled shaft, pile-supported and marine foundations for steel and concrete monopole and lattice tower structures.
- Analysis, design and rehabilitation of retaining walls for substations and access roads, as well as sea walls and transformer blast walls.
- Complete structural analysis, design and detailing of substation control houses, including interior steel roof beams and columns, spread footings, hollow-core roof slab, slab-on-grade, wall perimeter footing, wall openings and embedded plate design for support attachments.
Substation
We offer civil design, structural design, and 3D modeling to complement our design, surveying and LiDAR services for substations. Pickett provides engineering services for substations from conceptual development through detail design and as-builts.
Our team has experience ranging from 4kV to 500kV, and comes with a plethora of experience in design, detailing, and modeling in 2D and 3D.
Renewables Integration Services
We work closely with developers and utilities to connect renewables to the grid by providing essential services such as site ground survey and aerial LiDAR & mapping, permitting support, site grading and access road designs, stormwater management and BMPs, foundation and structural design, GIS and project management support as well as UAS-based inspections. We are experienced in providing these services to solar arrays and wind farms, battery storage and inverter locations, substations and breaker stations, and transmission and distribution.
