315 kv/25 kv substation, Jean Marcotte purification plant
project outline
The project comprised the construction of a 315-25 kV substation to supply the site’s ozone disinfection unit and eventually other facilities at the Jean-René Marcotte Wastewater Treatment Plant in Montréal. Engineering teams from General Electric and Groupe Alphard collaborated during the project to provide multidisciplinary engineering design of the substation.
The civil engineering elements of the project included the two main buildings (the GIS and Control buildings), the foundations of the substation’s electrical equipment, and the sizing and design of the site’s holding ponds, sanitary network and roadways.
