2021

  • Salem – Beverly 23KV R&R Project
    1. Replacement of 2321 and 2360 –
      • WR 27189817 - Feeder 2321: Replace ~11,000’ 3-1/C 400kcmil CU CMPT 25kV EPR from the Salem 45 to the Beverly 12 Substation. Remove ~5,800 circuit feet of the 2322 from MH 109 on Bridge St to the Beverly 12 substation.
      • WR 28747363 - Feeder 2360: Replace ~11,000’ 3-1/C 400kcmil CU CMPT 25kV EPR from the Salem 45 to the Beverly 12 Substation. Abandon ~6,000’ of the 2360.
    2. Removal of 2320 – WR 29674923
      • Remove ~4,120 circuit feet of the 2320 between MH 109 Bridge St in Salem to MH 862 on Wellman St in Beverly. Abandon ~6,000’ of the direct buried 2320.
    3. Pre-work to make room for 2360 and 2321 - WR# 29675686
      • Replace T-bodies on the 12J4 with H-bodies at MH 227 on Rantoul St.

  • Franklin Square Substation Project

    Replace 3 2000kcmil feeders in substation. Utilize Mobile Sub at Transformers to be used as temporary feed.

    • Remove the two abandoned lead cables from the box structure where the new neutral bus and cables will go.
      We need to strip that structure clean so IHC can start building the new neutral bus & disconnects in early March
    • Pull the two neutral cables that we will splice into the neutral system during the big outage
      • 1 cable from new neutral bus to MH1919 that will become the temp neutral to old T2. We will splice this cable into the cable coming from the Transformer 2 neutral during the outage on 3/24.
      • 1 cable from neutral bus to MH1919, that cable will continue from MH1919 to MH714 outside Manchester St plant. We will splice in MH714 during the outage to tie the new neutral cluster to the existing neutral cable entering Manchester St. This is the new home run neutral into Manchester St.
    • Pull out old Transformer 3 UG cables and neutral cable. These cables need to be removed during this week so civil can begin the demo and replacement of the duct bank from T3 into the 11kV building.
    • Lay out and terminate Mobile cables to support mobile sub install.
      • This step will require a lot of coordination with civil and O&M as the mobile cable structure and T3 riser structure get built and the driveway crossing duct bank is completed.
    • Pull in and terminate new Transformer 3 low side cables. The new duct bank for T3 should be completed sometime the week before, leaving this week to get the new cables pulled, terminated and tested. Keeping in contact with the civil crew will help offer opportunity to get in here sooner if the duct bank work is ahead of schedule. It’s a lot of work for a short time frame and we need to hit the inservice date for the mobile.
    • Mobile sub goes online. This is where the mobile sub cables and permanent low side cables to T3 go in service. This is an important date to meet as this allows the Manchester St generator to go back online at full capacity.
    • Install new neutral cable for Transformer 3 once the low side bus structure is built out. Again, contact with the construction crews will be important to get this last piece of cable installed to support the new T3.

  • Eversource Electric (Connecticut)

    Eleccomm has many ongoing projects for Eversource in Connecticut. Currently we are working on reconductoring projects to replace old feeders and getaways in the underground system from the substations out to field. Also, working on network systems replacing secondary conductors and cutting over to new transformers and bus bars in the manholes. ECC is performing all the high voltage splicing such as elbows, termination and straight splices on all cable sizes.

2012

  • RFP013-12 Cape Ann 2324 Cable Installation – Doc49952156
    • Install approximately 15 miles of 3-1000kcmil CU EPR 35KV rated insulated cable. The cable will be predominantly installed in an existing manhole and duct system. At the East Beverly substation two lines (51T1 and 51TL3) presently in the existing duct bank were relocated into the new duct bank in order to obtain necessary capacity 2324 line. A new getaway duct bank was also installed at the Manchester #23 substation for the 2324 line to enter and exit the substation.
