Why a Solution?

In addition to providing clients with traditional project management, senior design leadership, and construction site expertise, VMAG was created to offer business process improvement, multi-utility collaboration, technical standards development, training, and custom tool fabrication. Success sometimes requires both innovative thinking and a strong technical background. If you have a project that is challenging due to its size or complexity, VMAG Solutions is ready to be your partner.

How we Deliver Results

Everything starts with listening to our clients’ needs. This involves more than just understanding the scope, budget, and timeline—it requires grasping our impact on future operations and maintenance and identifying opportunities to deliver big-picture value. VMAG Solutions contributes knowledge and expertise in two key ways. First, by leveraging experience leading construction and commissioning on over 27 Communication Protection & Control (CP&C) projects, performing maintenance testing at more than 20 customer-owned substations, supervising the installation of over 200 km of fiber optics, and managing over $50 million in capital projects as either Project Sponsor or Design Lead. Second, by recognizing when seeking additional knowledge is needed. This involves quickly learning from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), taking the initiative to understand the subject matter, and appreciating the opportunity to collaborate with professionals who are passionate about their work.
