Substation Construction
At ABCONTROL, we design, build, and expand facilities for industrial and commercial environments
At ABCONTROL we design and execute electrical and civil infrastructure construction projects for all productive sectors: energy, mining, light industry, heavy industry, manufacturing, and the commercial sector.
With over 20 years of experience, our team integrates engineering, procurement, and execution to deliver reliable, efficient, and safe projects that comply with the industry’s most stringent standards.
Our goal is clear: to ensure operational continuity and long-term results through solutions that optimize time, costs, and resources.
What do we do in substation construction?
We support our clients from the initial conceptualization of the project through to its implementation, addressing every technical and regulatory requirement.
We handle all necessary procedures with agencies of the National Electric System (CFE, CENACE), develop detailed engineering plans, procure materials, provide on-site supervision, and oversee the comprehensive execution of electrical and civil engineering work.
Consulting
From the conceptualization and design of the project. We work closely with our clients from the very beginning, ensuring that every technical and financial decision is backed by a comprehensive engineering analysis.
CFE / CENACE Management
We handle all the paperwork and liaise with the relevant authorities, ensuring compliance with the guidelines for interconnection and safe operation.
Development
We design and build in accordance with national and international standards, ensuring electrical safety, efficiency, and reliability in every installation.
Construction of substations
We carry out large-scale electrical projects with specialized personnel, ensuring quality, consistency, and on-time delivery for every project.
Comprehensive solutions
We offer turnkey projects, combining engineering, procurement, and construction to deliver results that are ready to operate.
Construction supervision and management
We implement LEAN methodologies and digital tools that allow our clients to track project progress, optimize resources, and ensure transparency throughout the entire project.
Electrical Construction and Industrial Infrastructure
We carry out highly complex electrical and civil engineering projects, including substations, transmission lines, low- and medium-voltage systems, and industrial networks. Our experience ensures safety, quality, and on-time delivery.
Turnkey projects
We develop projects from the ground up, including drafting plans, liaising with the property manager and the utility company, preparing a bill of quantities and construction estimates, sourcing equipment and materials, as well as construction, installation, and commissioning.
Your project and its execution will be a success thanks to our expert team with over 20 years of experience, our shared monitoring tools—which ensure proper execution and continuity—and our effective information management.
High-voltage substations
We design and build outdoor AIS substations, indoor substations, and encapsulated GIS substations for use in step-down applications for load centers, step-up applications for power plants, and switching or control applications for connection to the National Electric System (SEN). Within this field, we have the knowledge and experience to handle all the necessary procedures with both CENACE and CFE for projects requiring connection or interconnection to the SEN, and we support our clients in this process.
High-voltage transmission lines (69–400 kV)
We design, construct, and expand high-voltage transmission lines in accordance with applicable regulations, whether for private use or for connection to or interconnection with the National Electricity System (SEN). Key aspects of this process include conducting route feasibility studies, obtaining permits, and coordinating with CENACE and CFE when applicable.
Medium-voltage distribution lines (4.16–34.5 kV)
Low-voltage systems
We design, build, and expand low-voltage electrical systems, including: electrical distribution panels, wiring, outlets, and protective devices for industrial, commercial, and residential facilities. We are committed to promoting optimal energy use through efficient systems, ensuring compliance with all applicable standards and regulations, and delivering scalable and reliable installations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Construction
Unique, industry-specific solutions
Can you integrate different brands of protection?
Yes. We integrate relays, UTRs, and protective equipment from brands such as GE, SEL, Siemens, ABB, Schneider, and others. We tailor each project to the client’s technical, budgetary, or regulatory requirements without compromising the system’s interoperability.
Do you also provide support and maintenance?
Yes. We offer specialized technical support, preventive and corrective maintenance, as well as service contracts that ensure the system’s operational continuity over time. We also provide remote or on-site support depending on the level of assistance required.
Can you modernize an existing substation?
Of course. We perform diagnostics and upgrades without having to replace the entire infrastructure. We integrate new technologies such as SCADA, UTRs, PMUs, and digital relays into existing facilities, improving their performance without interrupting operations.
Which regulations do your SAS systems comply with?
We operate in accordance with IEC 61850, IEEE, CFE V6700-62, and other national and international standards. This ensures compatibility with CFE specifications and those of private companies, as well as the technical validation of each installed component.
What is the typical delivery time for an SAS system?
It depends on the scope of the project, but our SAS systems are delivered under defined packages that include engineering, manufacturing, FAT, installation, and commissioning. We maintain clear timelines and deliver turnkey systems that are ready for operation.
