The Challenge

A power facility needed two substations completed on time to avoid delays

A busy power facility needed two new substations built from scratch to feed a re-bar manufacturing facility — a substation for the plant, and a substation for the arc furnace. They had committed to a quick completion date for both substations. However, the plant and arc furnace had two separate completion dates. If either finished late, there would have been drastic delays to production and a hit to profits. On top of this, the power facility needed an exact calibration of the substation CT’s required. Without it, there was a risk of inaccurate consumption and billing for the end user.
