Independent inspection for new transmission lines, rebuilds and upgrades, from right-of-way through energization, on lines up to 500kV.
Transmission line construction stretches across miles of right-of-way, landowners, access roads and crossings, with crews working far from the owner’s office. Foundations, structures and conductor work all have to meet tight tolerances, and problems that slip through are expensive to fix once a line is energized.
RGC Power Group provides independent transmission line construction inspection and oversight for the owner. Our construction managers inspect every phase against the approved plan and profile, drawings and specifications, document progress daily, and keep you informed about what is happening in the field, on lines up to 500kV.
We support investor-owned utilities, electric cooperatives, municipal utilities and large-load interconnection projects across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas and Colorado.
Our transmission line inspection covers each stage of construction, so defects are caught before they are buried, bolted up or energized.
Clearing, access roads, matting, erosion control and landowner commitments, verified against permits and environmental requirements.
Verified & Documented
Structure locations and centerline staking coordinated with surveyors and checked against the plan and profile before work begins.
Verified & Documented
Drilled piers, direct-embed and anchor installations inspected for depth, reinforcing, concrete placement and tolerance.
Verified & Documented
Steel and wood structures, crossarms, insulators and hardware assembled and set to the framing drawings and torque requirements.
Verified & Documented
Wire stringing, sagging, clipping, splices and dampers inspected, with clearances verified at crossings and spans.
Verified & Documented
Structure grounding, counterpoise, restoration of the right-of-way and final punch list items documented before turnover.
Verified & Documented
A consistent process keeps long, linear projects on schedule and well documented.
Contract and design package review, constructability review, outage planning, and survey and staking coordination.
Daily inspection of foundation installation with depth, material and quantity documentation at every structure.
Assembly, erection, stringing and sagging inspected and photographed, with daily progress and safety reporting.
Final inspections, punch lists, as-built drawings, right-of-way restoration and turnover documentation.
RGC doesn’t build transmission lines. We work for the owner, so our only interest is that yours is built right.
Our field construction managers cover the line so the owner knows what is happening at each structure, not just at the yard.
Unit-price work is verified and documented daily, so invoices and change orders match what was actually installed.
Foundation, framing and conductor issues are caught and corrected during construction, when they are still inexpensive to fix.

A transmission line construction inspector represents the owner in the field. They verify that right-of-way work, foundations, structures and conductor installation match the approved plan and profile and specifications, document quantities and progress daily, and flag safety and quality issues to the contractor and owner.
RGC inspects transmission construction on lines up to 500kV, as well as sub-transmission and distribution work.
Yes. We inspect new construction, rebuilds, reconductoring and structure replacement projects, including work performed around energized facilities and outage windows.
Our field construction managers deliver daily progress reports with crews, equipment, structures completed, quantities, safety observations, and photos and video, so you can follow the project without being on the line.
RGC is based in Canyon, Texas and inspects transmission projects across Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado and the surrounding region.
Transmission projects connect to substations and distribution systems. RGC provides the same independent oversight across all of them.
Civil, grounding, structures, equipment setting and commissioning oversight up to 500kV.
Overhead and underground distribution work inspected to your construction standards.
Duct bank, vault and cable installation verified and documented before backfill.
