Size 1-acre footprint, 3 transformer banks
Under several contracts with Orange & Rockland Utilities, Inc. (including a three-year term contract for site engineering and environmental permitting), Tectonic performed design services in support of various project elements for the Utility’s multi-phase, multi-year replacement of the Port Jervis Substation. The project program included replacement of an undersized/outdated, 100-year old substation complex with new transmission/distribution interface structures and three transformers spread across two sites separated by a City street.
As part of the Substation replacement, Tectonic performed a variety of services from investigations, to design, to procurement support, and lastly construction support:
During construction of the substation, Tectonic reviewed blasting plans, provided preconstruction surveys, performed vibration monitoring, supplied material testing, observed/monitored the blasting procedures and operations, and directed scaling/shotcrete stabilization.
During the separate construction of improvements to the incoming 138kV transmission line, Tectonic also reviewed blasting plans, and provided construction observation services to audit and monitor the blasting contractor’s procedures and operations.
