How do you minimise outage time during upgrades?

We use detailed outage planning, pre-assembled and pre-tested equipment, and experienced crews to minimise switching duration and work closely with the utility on scheduling.

Can you upgrade protection systems without replacing primary equipment?

Yes — protection relay and metering upgrades are often carried out independently of primary plant replacement and can significantly improve network performance.

Do you manage the DISCO approvals process?

Yes — our project team handles all utility approvals, switching requests and outage coordination as part of the project scope.

Network Upgrades

Modernization and upgrade of existing electrical networks.

Pakistan's electrical networks face increasing pressure from load growth, ageing assets and the integration of distributed solar generation. RS plans and executes network upgrades that improve capacity, reliability and safety — with minimal disruption to live operations.

Key Benefits

Increased capacity for load growth and solar integration

Reduced fault frequency through replacement of aged assets

Modern protection reduces fault clearance times

Improved power quality for sensitive industrial loads

Outage planning minimises disruption to consumers

Future-ready designs accommodate smart grid evolution

Our Process

Network Assessment

Thermal and voltage loading analysis, asset condition survey and fault history review.

Upgrade Design

Reinforcement options analysis, equipment specifications and outage schedule.

Stakeholder Coordination

DISCO or utility approval, consumer outage notifications and permit-to-work arrangements.

Equipment Procurement

Switchgear, transformers, cables, protection relays and associated civil materials.

Construction & Installation

Planned outage works executed safely with experienced crews and proven methodologies.

Testing & Re-energisation

Post-work testing, protection commissioning and controlled network re-energisation.

Features Included

Network capacity analysis and reinforcement design

Transformer replacement and uprating

Switchgear replacement (11 kV to 132 kV)

Protection relay replacement and re-commissioning

Cable replacement on existing routes

Overhead line reconductoring

Substation metering upgrades

SCADA and remote monitoring additions
