HSE Consultancy
Substation, OHTL & Underground Cable HSE Documentation
SafeCore Solutions prepares HSE documentation for substation, overhead transmission line (OHTL) and underground cable projects in Pakistan and internationally. Every document is written from direct experience on SEC and utility power projects, so it matches how energised work is actually controlled on site.

Why this service matters
Power transmission work carries risks that general construction documents rarely cover well: induced voltage on parallel circuits, stringing under tension, work near live bays, deep cable trenches and the handover from construction to energisation. Utilities and main contractors expect an HSE file that addresses each of these explicitly, with clear isolation points, authorised persons and emergency arrangements.
We build the documentation around your scope — a 380 kV, 132 kV or 13.8 kV substation, a new OHTL route, a line diversion or a cable circuit — and align it to the client's own HSE specification rather than a generic template. The result is a document set your site team can follow and your client's safety department can approve without repeated resubmission.
What’s included
- Project HSE plan for substation, OHTL or underground cable scope

- Trenching, excavation and cable-pulling risk assessments
- Induced voltage and earthing safety guidance
- Emergency response and rescue plan for towers and trenches
- Inspection checklists, toolbox talk topics and HSE registers
