Successful Start-Up Switchgear Replacement at Ft. Martin Power Station

RTP was engaged by Allegheny Energy Supply Co. to execute a Start-Up Switchgear Replacement project at Ft. Martin Power Station. The objective was to replace the existing 11.5kV Start-Up Switchgear while providing comprehensive electrical, civil, and structural design for the new installation. The project aimed to enhance the station's reliability and ensure efficient operations.

RTP prepared all the schematics, drawings, arrangements, and specifications needed for the new Start-up Switchgear. The specifications included features such as programmable relays, Kirk Key interlocks, and an Arc Mitigation system housed in a prefab switchgear building. All control points were prewired to a Remote I/O Panel, streamlining the installation process. The creation of new and revised existing drawings ensured proper installation within the existing switchyard, while assuring efficient use of supply power to both new and existing equipment and seamless connectivity.

RTP's expertise in electrical engineering, meticulous planning, and collaborative approach enabled the smooth execution of the project.

Albright Station GSU Transformer Project

RTP played a key role in the Albright Station Unit #3 GSU Transformer Replacement project for Allegheny Energy Supply Co. The scope of work involved replacing the existing 150 MVA, 18 kV-132 kV Unit #3 GSU Transformer and making necessary electrical, civil, and structural modifications. Additionally, the project included updating existing relaying schemes and installing new foundations, access platforms, and electrical control power for relocating the existing transformer to serve as the station spare GSU.

RTP’s scope of work included evaluating the bridge using STAAD software to ensure its suitability for transporting the replacement GSU transformer to the Albright Station. Following the evaluation, RTP prepared electrical general arrangements, exposed conduit, and cable schedule drawings for the GSU transformer replacement. Furthermore, our team produced the foundation plans and section drawings, as well as structural steel drawings necessary to modify the existing foundation to accommodate the new GSU transformer. 

RTP's expertise in electrical, civil, and structural engineering, along with their meticulous planning and design, ensured the successful replacement and relocation of the GSU transformer at Albright Station. Our commitment to delivering accurate drawings and comprehensive solutions contributed to the seamless execution of the project.
