Emergency 13.8kV Transmission Line Restoration

SCOPE OF WORK
  • Emergency mobilization of lineman crew to Northern Manitoba
  • Fault location analysis using advanced diagnostic methods
  • Temporary restoration to prevent additional operational downtime
  • Design-build permanent solution with 1600A line relocation
  • Underground electrical system refeeding and commissioning
  • Planned outage implementation with minimal operational impact
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
  • Rapid Emergency Response: Immediate mobilization to restore critical mining operations
  • Zero Additional Downtime: Temporary solution prevented further operational losses
  • Cost Savings: $160K saved through strategic line relocation design
  • Complete Solution: Permanent line relocation and underground system refeeding
EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Upon arrival, our team worked alongside mine personnel to identify the faulted termination and implement a temporary solution that prevented any additional operational downtime. Following the emergency restoration, we designed and implemented a permanent solution involving complete line relocation and refeeding of the underground electrical system.
