Seabrook Substation
Seabrook, Texas
DCCM provided civil engineering, permitting, and construction phase services for the new Seabrook Substation, a 138 kV electric distribution facility designed to enhance reliability and capacity for the Seabrook and Kemah area. The substation steps down transmission voltage to distribution levels and incorporates a low-profile, double-bus configuration that allows for operational flexibility and redundancy without service interruption.
DCCM led the site civil design, including grading, drainage, and stormwater management systems to meet Harris County flood control criteria. Services also included preparation of construction documents and technical specifications, coordination with local and county agencies for permitting approvals, and ongoing construction administration support. The design incorporated a detention system, erosion control measures, and site screening elements to address community concerns, including a landscaped perimeter wall.
Through proactive coordination and regulatory navigation, DCCM supported timely project approvals and construction progress. The completed facility improves grid resiliency, reduces outage risks, and supports continued residential and commercial growth in this coastal region.
