After the above-grade construction began at the substation, the team noticed that many pieces of steel would require modifications to meet the design's needs. The steel erection team ensured that those issues were addressed immediately and provided solutions to ensure the critical path activities stayed on schedule.

The substation 34.5 kV disconnect switches presented several challenges, and the mechanical crew focused heavily on the troubleshooting, adjusting, and replacing various parts in highly congested aerial locations.

As the project was in the final stages of completion, the project team was able to complete the project through the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic without impacting the safety of the team members or schedule.
