Keyport-Belford 34.5kV Line Rebuild

Located in New Jersey

  • Capabilities
    • Distributed Power, Renewable & Industrial
    • Electric Infrastructure
  • Completion 2023

Project Overview

The Keyport-Belford 34.5kV Line Rebuild project involved constructing a new transmission line spanning approximately 5.63 miles from the Keyport Substation to the Belford Substation near the New Jersey waterfront. We served as the general contractor on the job, overseeing comprehensive substation, distribution, and transmission work under one hat.

Key Highlights

The project entailed integrating state-of-the-art substation upgrades and innovative construction methods to ensure long-term network resilience and enhanced system capacity. Construction involved extensive logistical coordination and intricate engineering, including micropile foundations and specialized matting solutions to enhance project stability and minimize environmental impact. Continuous collaboration with various agencies was required to ensure environmental compliance and minimize disturbance to sensitive ecosystems.

Project Scope of Work Included:

Transmission Lines

  • Construction of New 34.5kV Line from Keyport to Belford, Including 179 Structures
  • Specialized Micropile Foundations for Structures in Challenging Terrains
  • Helicopter Installations Near Natco Lake

Substation

  • Installation of New 34.5kV Breakers, Relaying, Grounding Work, Control House Modifications, and SCADA Integration

Civil

  • Installation of Micropile Foundations with Minimal Environmental Impact
  • Use of Composite Matting for Access Roads and Working Platforms
  • Major Highway Crossings with Extensive Traffic Control Measures

Environmental & Access

  • Construction of 1.16 miles of Access Roads with Minimal Environmental Disturbance
  • Obtaining Multiple Environmental Permits and Coordination with Regulatory Agencies

Challenges and Results

The Keyport-Belford project exemplifies our commitment to engineering innovation, operational efficiency, environmental stewardship, and overall safety.

The team demonstrated technical adaptations and prowess by executing precise helicopter and airboat operations under difficult conditions. Through over 40,000 man-hours of dedicated work, there were zero injuries, customer outages, or NOVs were recorded.
