2006 UNDERGROUND CONVERSION PROJECTS
Client:
City of Petoskey
Location: Petoskey, Michigan
Several distribution conversion to underground projects were completed
to replace aged overhead distribution lines, increase circuit capacity
and reliability, and to increase the circuit voltage 12.5kV. All
building services in the conversion areas were converted to underground
and increased to 200A. An express 12.5kV circuit to NMH and the
Burns Medical Professional Building was constructed through the voltage
conversion of an existing overhead Hendrix aerial spacer circuit plus a
new dedicated underground cable run. The cable was tied through a
padmount automatic transfer switch providing increased reliability to
these critical loads.
Engineering services included:
• Project planning & cost estimating
• Underground system design
• Street lighting design
• Material procurement
• Construction staking
• Construction observation & inspection
