North Substation

Our team completed Feasibility through Detailed Design for this expansion of the North Substation at this Midwest Refinery with an estimated TIC of over $30MM. The goal of this project was to increase the reliability and safety of the substation, provide additional feeder circuits, and facilitate installation of a 3rd bus, allowing the refinery to provide alternate power sources from both the North and Southwest Substations to critical units in the refinery. We worked closely with several electrical equipment suppliers as well as a 3rd party provider to coordinate their power feed and tie-in to the refinery feed. Additionally, C&I provided on-site support for portions of the construction and commissioning.

C&I’s efforts spanned over 8 years to complete all phases. Over that time, the team adapted the project scope to address client and vendor changes, all while under close corporate observation with the high price tag.
