OUR CLIENTS

We Value Our Partnerships

We have been utilizing NorPro for their construction management services for approximately three years and value Tom Santillo for his expertise and background in many of our substation automation and breaker replacement and batter storage projects across New York State.

SIGFRIDO SILVESTRO | SUBSTATION SYSTEMS OPS | AVANGRID

I had the opportunity to work with Duane Beach of NorPro during a recent storm. I admired his knowledge of line work and passion for safety. I also witnessed him interact with a NYSEG customer. Duane was very helpful and respectful. He is a great leader in the field who doesn't mind sharing his knowledge with others.
