Transmission Lines Geotechnical Services

SaskPower builds multiple transmission lines and stations (between 69kV and 230kV) each year. Most of the line structures will be steel or wood poles and possibly a few lattice tower structures. Wood and steel poles are typically directly embedded between 3.0m and 5.0m, depending on the pole height. Some steel poles will require different foundation systems, such as concrete or screw piles, based on the soil properties and the loads. Lattice towers will typically require concrete or screw pile foundations. Stations includes apparatus support structures, bus support structures, transformer foundations, control building foundations, termination structures, access roads, site preparation, etc. Foundation types include cast-in-place concrete piles, screw piles, or slab-on-grade foundations Under this RFSQ SaskPower intends to establish a list of suppliers, who have entered a Master Geotechnical Agreement with SaskPower, that SaskPower has determined are qualified to provide any of the type(s) of engineering services required by the SaskPower Transmission Lines Engineering Department. Prequalified Suppliers who are on the List of Prequalified Suppliers may, on an “as, if and when” needed basis, be contacted directly, or asked to compete, to enter into a Statement of Work for the provision of Services, as further described in the RFSQ Particulars (Appendix A).
