Project Owner:
Cap Rock Electric Cooperative, Inc.

Completion Date: 1995

Cap Rock Electric’s (CRE) load and service territory had increased and changed over several years in a manner that left CRE with several non-interconnected points of delivery from a single supplier. This created a situation that left customers without power should any one of the single points of delivery be interrupted.

Cap Rock contracted Utility Engineering (UE) to provide engineering, design, procurement and construction management services to supply CRE a 138 kV transmission loop with two interconnected points of delivery from a new supplier. The project required UE’s simultaneous coordination of the work of three independent transmission construction firms to complete the project on schedule.

The initial changeover was coordinated so that five substations requiring several high side phase rotational changes could be switched in a single day. This changeover was successfully accomplished and the substations switched in a safe and efficient manner.
