How do you maintain transmission lines in an ecologically-sensitive area without damaging the habitat or your reputation?
Power and Energy
Renewable Energy
As Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) have come online, and technologies in fields like wind, solar and biomass energy have evolved in function and cost, so have the land development needs of the renewable energy markets.
Today, Atwell offers clients land acquisition support in the areas of data analysis, landowner and community outreach and asset/data management in conjunction with its full-service land development capabilities. Atwell's involvement in a project from start to finish ensures your image is represented properly in the field. The firm has assisted some of the nation's largest renewable energy clients with development related projects on thousands of acres of land nationally totaling more than 10,000 MW.
Electric Transmission
The success of the Electric Transmission industry is evident in the constant, uninterrupted supply of electricity originating from sources and locations often far removed from the consumers and industries creating its demand. This takes meticulous attention to the security, stability and supply within the nation's electrical grid. At the same time, you need to anticipate the demand from new and existing energy sources and generation facilities.
You need an aggressive, full-service consultant who understands the needs of the industry and its professionals. You need Atwell, offering support in the areas of land acquisition, corridor mapping and permitting, environmental impact and post-construction maintenance support services.
Distributed Energy Systems
With today's economic challenges, many firms, facility owners and managers are looking for ways to reduce costs, increase energy efficiency as well as find creative solutions to retain and attract tenants and prospective buyers. While there are multiple strategies to accomplish this goal, Distributed Energy Systems are proven to generate renewable power, reduce traditional energy costs and offset larger environmental impacts caused by traditional power generation. Two popular forms of Distributed Energy Systems include small-scale wind turbines and rooftop solar panels. Since each application is unique, Atwell and its construction affiliate Strategic Construction Solutions provides an extensive process to analyze, select, design, permit and install the most appropriate solution.
Oil and Gas Pipelines
Our nation's most critical natural resources - crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum - delivered through thousands of miles of integrated pipeline networks. Trust the land development components of your next project to Atwell and technical expertise, high safety standards and proven success.
Atwell initially entered the pipeline industry by providing land surveying support to fast-growing pipeline owners, contractors and specialty consultants. As the industry has evolved, so have the firm's capabilities in the areas of project feasibility, site selection support, route permit and development and quality assurance support services.
