Client
Midstream Transmission Company
Project Overview
The client was experiencing frequent wind‑related outages caused by aging overhead electrical equipment, creating ongoing reliability issues for multiple distributed well storage sites. To ensure consistent power delivery and reduce the operational disruptions caused by weather‑driven outages, the client needed a more resilient distribution system capable of supporting both three‑phase and single‑phase service demands across their facilities. To address this challenge, LSC provided the detailed design for a three‑mile, 12.47 kV underground distribution system, transitioning the existing overhead feeders to a modern, underground configuration that significantly improved system reliability and long‑term performance.
Deliverables:
- Site Investigation
- Site Report
- Issued for Bid Package
- Secondary Site Visit
- Utility Mapping
