POWER SERVICES INNOVATIVE STRATEGIES TO DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND GROW

Transmission and distribution, reliability systems, maintenance projects, and inspection services Underground Transmission and Distribution With more than 125 years of combined experience, our Underground Electric team brings deep expertise in the installation, relocation, and preservation of underground utilities. As urban growth and improved trenchless technologies make underground distribution increasingly viable, we provide end-to-end support from initial studies and permitting through detailed design and energization. Our approach ensures efficient routing, traffic control, and coordination, with routes selected carefully after all design, environmental, and community considerations have been evaluated.

Overhead Distribution Our overhead distribution team has successfully delivered projects for leading utilities and public agencies including CenterPoint Energy, AEP, CPS Energy, TxDOT, and multiple municipalities and counties across Texas. These projects span relocations, feeder extensions, span replacements, underground residential distribution loop rehabilitations, and pole replacements. Each designer undergoes extensive training in client standards, safety, and

software such as SAP, Distribution Design Studio (DDS), and MicroStation, along with field visits and plan/profile comprehension.

Field verification with photos and video ensures accuracy before design begins, and every project is reviewed through a rigorous QA/QC process prior to delivery.

Overhead Transmission Our transmission engineers and designers have decades of experience delivering projects from 34.5 kilovolts (kV) up to 500 kV. Collectively, they have supported thousands of miles of new line construction, rebuilds, rerates, and as-built modeling across every major ISO/RTO in North America.

Beyond transmission, our staff has designed interconnects and collection systems for utility-scale solar projects exceeding 100 megawatts. Each team member is trained in leading software tools including PLS-CADD, PLS-Pole, Sag10, and foundation design programs. Many of our staff have also contributed to IEEE standards development and partnered with organizations like EPRI and NEETRAC on industry research.

DDS Experience DCCM is recognized as a leader in DDS with more than 50 trained users supporting CenterPoint Energy and AEP. This expertise allows us to consistently deliver utility-specific designs that meet strict standards while driving efficiency through shared processes, integrated QA/QC, and rapid turnarounds. Our scale ensures the ability to mobilize quickly, handle large project volumes, and maintain continuity across diverse territories. For FirstEnergy, our proven DDS adoption means seamless integration into existing workflows with no lengthy training required.

Backed by a deep bench of DDStrained staff and a strong focus on accuracy, schedule reliability, and collaboration, DCCM is prepared to be a trusted extension of your team and accelerate FirstEnergy’s distribution design and capital programs.

Our long-term relationships and solid record of success are why our clients call on us again and again.
