Project Description

As part of BC Hydro operations, Distribution Civil and Electrical Construction Inspection Services are required to ensure that civil and electrical assets are constructed in compliance with the design, and BC Hydro standards and specifications.

The electricity generated from these assets has consistently powered and sustained B.C.’s economy, communities, and overall quality of life. 

Our Role 

RAM is providing civil and electrical construction inspection services, including the following: 

  • civil field review and construction quality assurance inspections (typically during construction phases); 
  • electrical field review and construction quality assurance inspections (for completed work or existing assets).

The Electrical work type is divided into sub-sections for both overhead and underground electrical work/assets as follows:  

  • field reviews for project work (generally during construction);
  • quality assurance inspection for program work (for completed work or existing assets).  

 

Project Highlights

By leveraging the work-management platforms Smartsheet, Fulcrum, and KIE, RAM has effectively orchestrated, monitored, and overseen several BC Hydro projects. Smartsheet has facilitated successful task organization, deadline setting, and resource allocation within the team, while the use of Fulcrum and KIE facilitated the establishment and utilization of a checklist system during inspections of utility poles and streetlights.
