Infrastructure

For approximately a century, the United States has had the world's biggest economy. One of its strengths has been its infrastructure, from the rails and telegraph lines installed in the 19th century to the airports and the electricity grid of today. The transmission grid is of particular importance to the national defense and energy security. The smart or modernized grid, has received significant attention in the past several years because it has the ability to enable billions of dollars in savings, improve the electricity grid reliability, and because it is a key building block in expansion of renewable and clean technologies. According to recent forecasts, the smart grid market is expected to double in size in the next five years.

In addition to smart grid solutions, companies need help in building and managing the key skills needed to install and upgrade infrastructure. Large project management includes the establishment of project management offices, development and management of DOE and DOD grade earned value management systems, and implementation of project controls and monitoring.

We have assisted multiple entities in the modernization of the electric grid and the energy manufacturing infrastructure in the United States and have helped companies in managing almost a billion dollars in Smart Grid Investment and Demonstration (SGIG and SGDG) grants.
