“When it came to selecting a partner to design and build the project, we turned to Burns & McDonnell because of the firm’s long history of supporting critical infrastructure projects in Florida, extensive experience with transmission and substation systems, and strong track record of delivering EPC projects on time and on budget,” said Allen Putnam, Director for Beaches Energy Services.
Under the contract, Burns & McDonnell will provide services for the installation and energization of Autotransformer No. 2 at Beaches Energy Sampson Substation. The project scope includes removal and replacement of the existing Autotransformer No. 2, the addition of a 138k Power Voltage Transformer, the replacement of five motor-operated disconnect switches, and necessary relay panel modifications and upgrades. Construction is expected to conclude in August.
“We are proud to help Beaches Energy Services deliver one of the first municipal progressive EPC projects in the state,” said Matt Kapusta, Regional Transmission & Distribution Group Manager in Orlando for Burns & McDonnell. “The partnership between project owners and the professionals supporting the project establishes a foundation for the successful, quick, high-quality, and safe execution of the project.”
