| Working directly as an Exelon Engineer of Choice and as part of the Infrasource Contractor of Choice team, Sargent & Lundy is designing 69-kV and 230-kV transmission lines. These projects include new lines and upgrades of existing lines. |
| SCADA Installation Programs |
| Sargent & Lundy performed engineering and design for the installation of SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) programmable logic controllers (PLCs) or remote terminal units (RTUs) at over 60 existing substations throughout the ComEd service territory in northern Illinois. The SCADA systems allow ComEd to improve the reliability of the transmission and distribution system and respond more quickly and efficiently to system abnormalities. This work was performed under an EPC contract. M. J. Electric of Iron Mountain, MI was the prime contractor and Sargent & Lundy was the engineering subcontractor. Our scope of work as the engineer on the EPC team included development of SCADA point lists; SCADA system engineering and design, including transformer LTC control, regulation, and tap position monitoring; schematic, wiring diagrams, and demolition drawings, preparation of material lists; and design and specification of associated equipment such as auxiliary relays, cables, conduits, and cable trays. Completed in 2001. |
| PacifiCorp |
| Wasatch Front Quantum Leap Projects |
| As part of an EPC team, Sargent & Lundy is performing complete engineering, construction, quality assurance, and commissioning services for a major upgrade of the transmission and distribution system in the PacifiCorp Salt Lake City region. The prime contractor is Kenny Construction Company of Chicago, IL. The transmission scope of work includes seven transmission projects involving a total of approximately 50 miles of 138 kV line, plus an additional 15 miles of line to accommodate the new and upgraded substation projects. The substation scope of work includes 12 new 138/12.5-kV substations and upgrades of 19 existing substations. In addition to engineering, Sargent & Lundy's scope of work includes construction quality assurance and testing and commissioning services. The majority of the projects were completed to meet summer peak loads in 2003 and 2004 and the remaining projects completed in 2005. |
