Northern Grounding

Northern Grounding was established in 2007 to build an engineering team of Engineers, Technicians, and Designers offering a full range of Engineering Services for Grounding Studies, AC Mitigation and Electrical Interference Studies, as well as Cathodic Protection Studies, Soil Testing and Ground Impedance Testing. With over 30 years of industry experience in Engineering Design, Planning, Cost Estimation, Cost Control, and Project Co-ordination, we respond to each clients’ unique needs and deliver solutions meeting the most demanding industry requirements. We build a team around our clients’ needs for every project, with a reputation of working cooperatively to execute challenging brownfield and greenfield projects safely, on time, on budget, while maintaining industry and client quality standards. We work tirelessly to provide technically sound, practical solutions that ensure these systems perform as designed and operate safely and reliably. From the big picture, to the smallest detail, we create superior client experiences. When overhead AC powerlines and metallic pipelines are close to each other, high AC voltages can arise on the pipeline metal due to coupling to the powerline. These voltages can present health hazards to workers and the general public. In extreme cases, the integrity of pipeline coatings and metallic walls can be affected. Our company specializes in the computer modelling of these situations as well as the design and installation of required mitigation and grounding measures.
