There is strength in numbers, and it becomes even more powerful when combined as a single, effective force. The K‑Line Group of Companies is one such force.
By integrating and aligning industry-specific divisions under one powerful organization, The K‑Line Group provides complete, one-source solutions for the high voltage and related sectors.
With utilities, industrial and commercial customers, The K‑Line Group takes responsibility for every phase of a power project from initial financing and consulting through to design and construction as well as commissioning and ongoing maintenance.
The K‑Line Group of Companies has a long-standing history of excellence dating back to 1967, when public utilities first began to see the cost and time benefits associated with outsourcing high voltage projects. A preferred partner then because of its superior work and established safety record
The K‑Line Group continues to be an integral partner/service-provider offering clients a complete range of high voltage expertise. Today, as the power industry continues to reinvent itself, The K‑Line Group has become increasingly invaluable as a dependable, expert resource for on-time, on-budget, safety –driven power projects.
For The K‑Line Group’s customers, the benefits of using its complete line of services and products are substantial. Economies of scale are realized at every turn and the one-source solution means the processes are unified, which promotes efficiency, time saving and cost reductions.
A significant advantage for customers is the K‑Line Group’s vast range of project experience, encompassing all aspects of the modern high voltage industry, which allows for a seamless transfer of knowledge and associated best practices. This sharing of expertise in engineering, procurement and construction methods further empowers its customers to meet project objectives, budget restraints and restrictive time schedules.
The K‑Line Group of Companies is comprised of four companies: K‑Line Maintenance & Construction Limited, K‑Tek Electro-Services Limited, K‑Line Insulators Limited, and K‑Line International Limited. Within these four organizations are industry-specific divisions that address the engineering, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and maintenance of high voltage power delivery systems as well as providing temporary power services for large-scale construction sites. Independent laboratory testing and complete fleet repair and refurbishing services are also available.
K-Line Maintenance & Construction has over 55 years of extensive experience in the design, construction, and commissioning of high voltage electrical power systems.
