Project Description
This Design-Build project required the demolition of an outdoor substation. Then location selection and construction of a new substation, to include infrastructure and new equipment. The Project included site improvements, new metal support structure with concrete foundations and concrete equipment pads, security fencing surrounding gravel interior space, grounding system, medium voltage aerial busing systems, vacuum circuit breakers, liquid-filled transformers, outdoor enclosed metal-clad switchgear, manual isolation and bypass switches, lightning and surge protection, and modular enclosure to house solid-state, programmable monitoring and relaying and local SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system equipment.
The IMC/SELAH Team provided a turnkey substation replacement and medium voltage distribution upgrade solution complete with advanced state of the art Schweitzer Engineering Laboratory/SEL-based protective relays, SEL-based SCADA controls, and fiber optic-based communication networks.
