Transmission Services
 |
Richardson-Wayland’s Transmission Department provides erection, repair, reconductoring and maintenance services on transmission lines up to 500kV. The Company recently completed an eight-mile 230 kV transmission line constructed for Dominion Power Company near Landstown, Virginia. The line was built in environmentally sensitive wetlands areas. The Company used advanced construction techniques, including the extensive use of helicopters, to minimize the impact of the construction on the environment.
Distribution Services
 |
The Distribution Department performs a wide range of overhead electric distribution services, including storm repair, pole replacement, grounding services and new construction. The Distribution Department has performed services for Dominion Power Company for many years and, more recently, began providing services to First Energy Corporation.
Substation Services
 |
Substation Services include installation of power plant step-up transformers, substation upgrades and greenfield substation construction, including foundations, step-down transformer installation, and distribution bus, circuit breaker, and backbone structure erection. The Company recently completed construction of the 500kV Bristers Substation in Bristers, Virginia. Richardson-Wayland was the primary contractor on the construction of this new substation which went from an open field to energization in 6 months.
Foundation Services
Richardson-Wayland’s Foundations Department builds foundations for distribution, transmission, substation and cellular phone tower projects. With its special skills and unique experience, the department is able to erect towers in difficult terrain and for customers which may otherwise compete with other parts of Richardson-Wayland’s business.
Traffic Signal Services
 |
The Traffic Signal Department has been the Virginia Department of Transportation’s leading contractor for 19 years. With in-depth knowledge of the Virginia Department of Transportation’s stringent requirements, the department is able to subcontract to housing developers, mall builders and commercial chain constructors throughout the state which must provide traffic signalization in connection with their developments. Unequalled in speed and proficiency, the Company can provide this often overlooked, but essential, scope of work in a manner to ensure a timely store opening.
