EPC Solutions (Engineer/Procure/Construct)

Turnkey solutions for substations, transmission lines, electrical power systems, power system design and analysis, construction, testing and commissioning

Saber Power champions the Engineer/Procure/Construct (EPC) delivery model for electrical power systems projects. We specialize in electrical substations, switchyards, and transmission and distribution infrastructure for a diverse client base, including:

• • Renewable energy and BESS
  • Utilities – electric and water/wastewater
  • Industrial facilities and campuses
  • Midstream oil and gas facilities
  • Technology, commercial, and microgrid markets

We support our clients’ largest capital investments throughout the full project lifecycle—from early planning and design through construction, commissioning, and long-term maintenancde and operations support. We prioritize communication, schedule certainty, safety, and quality, and we are proud that more than half of our EPC substation projects result from repeat clients.

Transparency & Project Alignment

At Saber Power, transparency and alignment with our clients are fundamental to successful projects and long-term partnerships. As part of our rigorous bid development process, we prepare a comprehensive proposal package in each submission that includes:

• Preliminary drawings
• Detailed bills of material
• Equipment specifications and scope narratives
• Project schedule
• A detailed scope of supply

This front-end investment provides:

• Greater price certainty for equipment, labor, and materials
• Clear scope definition for our clients
• Improved risk identification and mitigation before project award

By capturing anticipated project costs up front, we enable informed decision-making and reduce the likelihood of downstream surprises.

Power System Design

Saber Power understands that successful EPC projects are engineering-led and construction-focused. Our in-house engineering team supports all turnkey projects and covers the full spectrum of electrical power system design, including:

• Preliminary studies and permitting
• Physical and electrical design
• Protection and control systems
• Civil and structural engineering
• Transmission and distribution engineering

Continual feedback from our construction, field services, and testing teams ensures that our designs are accurate, practical, and constructible. Unlike large multi-discipline EPC firms, Saber Power’s engineering focus remains squarely on solving the most technically complex medium- and high-voltage electrical challenges our clients face.

Project Management

Upon project award, Saber Power initiates a structured kickoff process to clearly define:

• Roles and responsibilities
• Interface points
• Communication protocols
• Key contacts

We utilize Primavera P6 as our primary scheduling platform to manage:

• Project schedules
• Procurement activities
• Manpower planning
• Document control and reporting

Our project philosophy is simple: once scope, safety, quality, budget, and schedule are agreed upon, we fully own them. We consistently look for opportunities to optimize execution and add value while guaranteeing substantial completion dates.

Procurement

Strategic Procurement Relationships Benefit Our Clients Saber Power maintains negotiated terms and master service agreements with leading suppliers and subcontractors across the electric power industry. These relationships provide our clients with:

• Accelerated material procurement
• Expedited manufacturing slots
• Faster subcontractor mobilization
• Competitive, market-based pricing

Our procurement capabilities include:

• Competitive bidding among qualified suppliers
• Alignment with client-approved vendors and specifications
• Supplier qualification based on pricing, delivery, QA/QC, warranty, and technical support
• Optional warehousing and material storage services

Timely receipt of vendor data is critical to maintaining EPC schedules, and our procurement team works closely with engineering to ensure seamless execution.
