Underground Transmission

Preserving the beauty and history of communities is a common goal. Power to people who need it is a common mission.

Burns & McDonnell helps utility companies do both.

Let Our Expertise Show You in a Favorable Light

Society looks upon overhead transmission lines as unsightly. Taking routes underground yields reduced public opposition, improved permitting schedules and aesthetically pleasing final installations.

Underground transmission is increasingly accepted as a viable alternative to overhead lines, thanks to fast-track transmission projects, urban area load growth and improving technologies and decreasing costs of high-voltage cable systems.

We provide top-flight, turnkey engineering and construction solutions.

Golf course developments are prime examples of situations where aesthetic concerns make underground transmission an accepted choice.

Our over 10 years of on-time, on-budget projects for more than 50 clients means we have the flexibility to select the most appropriate and most economical cable company at the time of your project.

Our engineer-procure-construct delivery method ensures your project gets the right equipment, at the right time, at the right cost. Our complete warranty service, education and maintenance training for your staff keeps you online for the future.

Honor Award

In 2003, Burns & McDonnell won an Engineering Excellence Honor Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies for the design and installation of a 161-kV underground line at the Staley Farms Golf Course in suburban Kansas City, Mo.

“The improvements to underground transmission line technology make it more feasible than ever to provide needed power underground,” says Walt Womack, president of the Burns & McDonnell Transmission & Distribution Group. “Golf courses are some of the best places for underground lines.”
