Scope

Michels Power, Inc. performed demolition and construction services for a new 161kV bay, three breaker installations with associated cabling, and other electric equipment installation and wiring. Michels Power removed two existing breakers during the outage held for the two replacement breakers to be installed, and one additional breaker with a crane. Additional deadend and associated equipment was also installed using a crane. Hydro-excavation techniques were used for connecting additional ground tails to the existing ground grid and additional conduit installation. A single drum puller was used to pull the cable.
