Strengthening Miami Beach's Grid Resilience
Nearly two miles of transmission ductbank installed under Miami Beach, FL.
The Alton to Venetian Transmission Project consisted of nearly two miles of 69kV transmission circuits employing various underground construction methods such as two HDDs, open cut, and thermally encased concrete ductbank. A dewatering scope was also implemented, which utilized wellpoint and drainage wells throughout the open-cut section. In addition to enhancing the city's electrical infrastructure, the initiative included road restoration efforts at the state, county, and city levels.
- Two HDDs totaling 82,962 feet of HDPE conduit.
- 2,000 feet of concrete encased ductbank.
- Six transmission duct vaults.
- Six 24-inch drainage wells to 125-foot depth.
- Dewatering scope for 2,000 feet of ductbank.
- State, County, and City road restoration.
Using the Direct Pipe method, a 4,900-foot-long, 42-inch-diameter steel pipe was seamlessly installed, creating a crucial link for a natural gas transmission pipeline.
Electrical conduits seamlessly link Coconut Grove substation to the Simpson substation to increase reliability of an existing power grid.
Force main installed under Fort Worth railroad, Union Pacific railroad, and the Clear Fork of the Trinity River adds increased capacity to the City of Fort Worth Force Main system.
Electrical conduits installed beneath Interstate Highway 66 enhance the eastern seaboard power grid.
