This contract was to furnish engineering and construction services for the Substation Optimization & Grid Improvement Program in the Carolinas. Substation Optimization has been identified as Duke’s Customer Delivery strategy to enable the system to add renewable technologies. The focus is to control and regulate these technologies to maximize carbon-free electrical supply by efficiently planning, modernizing, protecting, and maintaining our grid for the benefit of Duke Energy’s Carolina customers.
Primoris T&D Gulf Division in FL was awarded numerous projects located throughout their operating footprint in the Panhandle and Central FL areas. The projects were defined as Storm Protection Plan (SPP) hardening work which was designed to strengthen the FL electrical distribution grid to withstand extreme weather conditions and enhance overall reliability. The scope of work was a combination of overhead, underground, and feeder hardening work. Each section of the SPP projects was broken out into smaller, more manageable areas by substation and area for a total of 10 projects. The total mileage of feeder hardening work was over 33 miles, including over 1,700 distribution poles, associated hardware, conductor, switches, and transformers that were upgraded to new hardening standards.
Primoris T&D Services worked with Dominion Energy to upgrade its electrical network through an awarded contract to install more than 120 miles of distribution lines to supply electricity to homes and businesses. The new electrical facilities were installed underground. The decision to put the lines underground was made to provide more reliability and reduce the frequency of outages.
Primoris T&D’s scope was to establish a new switching station to replace the nearby Everman Switch with a 13-breaker 345 kV Switching Station. The scope included all below-grade civil construction of foundations, conduit systems, and ground grid, as well as all above-grade structural and electrical system installation. Along with the switch, the transmission line scope was to relocate 4 different 345kV transmission lines from the existing Everman Switch to the new Timberview Switchyard. Construction scope included the installation of new foundations, single and double circuit steel monopole structures, new conductor wire, and the removal of existing lines.
The Sweetwater energized transmission work included replacing two 138kV “H” structure cross arms and insulators on a 138kV circuit. On the 69kV circuit, one pole, cross arms, and insulators on a 69kV circuit “H” structure were replaced. 11 cross arms and two poles were replaced on another 69kV circuit. The project was completed a day ahead of the due date and was performed safely with no personal injuries or equipment damages. The work repaired damaged or extremely aged equipment that was at end of life ensuring continued reliable service for the customers served by the circuits.
