Serving utilities, contractors, and infrastructure firms across Arizona and the Southwestern U.S. since 1987.
Infrastructure keeps communities and businesses running. Somebody has to get the engineering right.
At ARUSI, we believe the work matters beyond the deliverable. We’re a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned engineering firm built on accountability, technical precision, and showing up for our clients when the schedule is already under pressure. That’s not a value statement on a wall. It’s what 35 years of utility work in Arizona has required of us.
If you’re looking for a firm that already understands your standards, responds fast, and treats your schedule like their own, you’ve found it.
Most T&D engineering firms deliver drawings. ARUSI delivers project momentum. That's the difference clients notice first, and it's the reason they come back.
We've supported APS and SRP projects long enough to know their review cycles, drafting standards, and BOM expectations from the inside. When we start on your project, we're not learning your workflow. We're already in it.
When your schedule is slipping, we respond within 24 to 48 hours and can integrate into active projects within days. We've structured ARUSI specifically to support schedule recovery, not just stable-state work.
Clients consistently note they spend less time managing ARUSI than previous vendors. Fewer missed updates, fewer corrections, fewer conversations about why something was delivered the wrong way. This pattern shows up most on long-running SRP program accounts.
Our engineering, CAD drafting, utility coordination, and QA/QC functions work together inside one team. That integration reduces the disconnects that happen when disciplines are siloed and design intent doesn't reach the field.
We support the full range of T&D engineering and design work, from single structure assessments to multi-year utility programs.
Engineering and design from 5kV to 500kV. Overhead corridors, structure replacements, reconductoring, OPGW integration, PLS-CADD modeling coordination, clearance analysis, and construction support documentation.
Overhead and underground distribution design for utility modernization, new line extensions, cable replacements, and capital improvement programs. Deliverables include construction-ready drawing packages and BOM integration.
Permit-ready packages for single-jurisdiction and multi-agency environments. We handle utility coordination, agency response support, and construction license documentation across Arizona and the Southwest.
Rapid-response engineering during active construction: redline incorporation, field-driven revisions, clearance and loading verification. Structured for compressed timelines.
No ambiguity about how the work starts or how it moves. Here's what to expect.
We respond within 24 to 48 hours. Before we scope anything, we want to understand your schedule, your constraints, and what's already in motion.
Within 2 to 10 business days. Deliverables, staffing, timeline, and assumptions are defined clearly so there are no surprises once work begins.
Project managers and technical staff are assigned. QA/QC workflows are established. Communication cadence is confirmed. You know exactly who is working on your project.
Engineering, drafting, utility coordination, and QA/QC run in parallel. We keep you informed of progress, risks, and decisions that need your input before they become problems.
We turn revisions fast. Redline incorporation and utility comment responses are core to our workflow, not an afterthought.
Deliverables are reviewed against utility standards before submission. Construction support continues as needed after delivery.
Would OPGW upgrades across hundreds of structures require widespread pole replacement — or could existing infrastructure be preserved? Regional Arizona Electric Utility
A regional Arizona utility was managing multiple active 69kV transmission corridors simultaneously. Their internal engineering team was at capacity. Construction schedules were aggressive. And a critical question needed answering fast: would OPGW upgrades across hundreds of structures require widespread pole replacement, or could existing infrastructure be preserved?
We provided engineering and design support across multiple corridors, including PLS-CADD model updates, structure loading evaluation, drawing revisions, and rapid-response support during active utility review cycles.
By evaluating actual loading impacts against existing infrastructure, ARUSI identified cases where pole replacement was not required, reducing construction scope, material costs, outage coordination complexity, and schedule exposure. Critical construction and review schedules were maintained across multiple concurrent projects.
