Featured Project
INTREN installed new poles and 636 conductors in preparation for a 4.8 kV delta to 13.2 kV wye conversion. This was to accommodate the construction of a new international bridge into Canada, and to provide the foundation for a future total system conversion and upgrade of the utility’s 4.8 kV delta system.The major challenge was that the infrastructure had deteriorated and needed upgrades. There were hazards associated with the existing structures and conductors. Our crews were required to be extra vigilant and cautious while performing even the simplest of tasks. Proper, thorough planning and prejob discussions were essential to this project’s success.
