Pythias Solar Substation
Brazoria County, Texas
DCCM provided civil engineering design, permitting, and construction support for the Pythias Substation, a 138 kV–34.5 kV facility developed to interconnect a utility-scale solar farm into the Client’s transmission network. The substation serves as a critical grid-tie facility, enabling the delivery of renewable energy into the regional power system.
Scope included site layout, grading, and stormwater management design, as well as preparation of construction plans and specifications. DCCM coordinated closely with Brazoria County and local drainage authorities to secure permitting approvals and ensure compliance with environmental and drainage requirements. The design incorporated a detention system and erosion control measures to protect surrounding infrastructure and natural resources.
During construction, DCCM provided engineering support, responded to contractor inquiries, and coordinated survey and layout data. The project supports the integration of renewable energy, enhances grid capacity, and contributes to long-term sustainability and energy reliability in the region.
