The Journey of Excellence : About : SANPEC

The Journey Of Excellence

SANPEC was founded to improve the resilience and reliability of power grid systems and has been privately owned and operated since 2009. Our unique approach, "SANPEC" allows us to create, measure, transfer, and recreate knowledge effectively.

In the '90s, SANPEC co-founders were the emerging leaders of the quality revolution in the electric power sector, driving it toward sustainability. They realized that the power industry was plagued by irresponsible use of resources, ineffective leadership and strategy, unsustainable business models and processes, inefficient operations, workforce, and risk planning. In response, they set out a new vision "SANPEC" to restructure and transform the electric power sector.

At SANPEC, we aim to continuously improve structural resilience, reliability, and quality of life through engineering excellence, research and innovation, education and outreach, co-creation, and collaboration. In addition, we aim to bring a focused approach toward improving transmission and distribution systems and creating socio-economic values

The Journey of Excellence

We are a diverse team of purpose-led engineers and multidisciplinary professionals with an uncompromising focus on resilience, reliability, sustainability, quality, and excellence.

We have the skill sets and mindsets to lead the transition to a circular economy and execute complex infrastructure projects with unparalleled engineering excellence, extensive fabrication knowledge, cutting-edge research, conscious leadership, and integrated quality management practices.

We have engineered, fabricated, inspected, and restored millions of assets to ensure structural integrity and improve the quality of life. Our innovative solutions help solve critical challenges by integrating deep domain expertise, market research, valuable insights, and advanced technology capabilities.

We provide the right blend of cutting-edge research, breakthrough innovations, unconventional wisdom, and unparalleled technical expertise to ensure the project benefits socio-economic value n the dynamic and disruptive energy sector.

We are uniquely positioned to lead the energy transition with innovative and strategic solutions while anticipating and mitigating tomorrow's disruptions.

Managing grid resilience and sustainability

Project Management

SANPEC develops detailed project schedules to meet construction demands, assists in vendor selections and evaluations, and helps negotiate the best pricing and delivery schedules from vendors. They assist with risk mitigation planning while keeping track of all milestones and critical delivery items. From initial project strategy to lean product development to completion and post-project monitoring, we are the only business where the team is well-trained to lead from the point of dynamic balance and alignment.
We have extensive experience executing complex and worldwide T&D projects and dealing with complete T&D project lifecycles and insights. In addition, we have inspected millions of structural assets while integrating "lesson-learned" and critical "post-project" knowledge into our "system of excellence" and developing new strategies to our strategic advantage.

Logistics and Construction Support

In Logistics and Construction Support, SANPEC employees follow up logistics planning from vendors, perform inspection of material upon arrival at port and yards, help to track bundling/packaging lists and BOL for tower components for each structure and payment process, and support customers during construction projects, keeping their fingers on the pulse of missing pieces or mis-fab pieces as well as any technical issues.

Testing and Inspection

SANPEC also completes testing and inspection of steel pole, lattice towers, substation support structures, insulators, conductors, OPGW, guy wires, shield wires and hardware assembly. They perform Weld Inspections (NDT Technique), Visual Inspection (VI), Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI), Phase Array (PAUT), Fabrication Shop Audits and on-site Inspections, Material Sampling (Metallurgical and Mechanical Testing), Root Cause Analysis, Prototype and Proof of Fit Testing, and Field Inspection for aging transmission structures.

Manufacturing and Operational Efficiency

Today’s pole and tower manufacturers focus on managing timelines to improve efficiency and factory capacity utilization. The information is delivered asynchronously in large batches. As a result, the factory floor is unaware of design-in-process and the dynamic changes in engineering and materials. Team SANPEC ensures a smooth execution at all levels. They offer full-spectrum service, covering the entire value chain from engineering to development and delivery, including structure testing and quality inspection. They minimize the invisible and unmeasured queues that impact structure development performance. As a result, they help their value chain partners accelerate feedback and improve product development and response time.

SANPEC aims to:

> Improve economic decisions at all levels of the value-chain.

> Reduce Idle time and optimize WIP.

> Manage dynamic queues and projects effectively in the presence of variability.

> Accelerate feedback and maintain decentralized control.
