PROJECT SUMMARY
SECTOR:
Utilities
CLIENT:
ABB – Sinai Engineering Corporation
DURATION OF PROJECT:
9 Months
PROJECT SUMMARY:
ABB (formally known as ASEA Brown Boveri) is a Swedish Swiss electrical business that offers products and services for a wide range of industries and utilities.
Dynamo was contracted to execute a 138 kV substation expansion and 25 kV capacitor addition to ABB’s Static Var Compensation installation at SaskPower’s Points North Substation.
The purpose of the project was to improve the stability of SaskPower’s northern grid for customers and uranium mines in the area. With the project site located 800 km north of Saskatoon and an ambitious work schedule timed to complete work over winter months, the project posed many logistic and work environment challenges.
Our scope of work consisted of steel fabrication, CAD design, transformer assembly and commissioning, protection relay bench testing and control panel fabrication, backup capacitor bank installation, steel fabrication, apparatus and bus erection, field wiring, and system commissioning. The project began in late summer of 2013 and was successfully completed in May of 2014. Most of this work was performed outdoors through one of the coldest winters on record in a brownfield station setting.
