Chipps TRANSFORMER REPLACEMENT City of Bowling Green/Southeastern Container The City of Bowling Green has retained the services of PDG to provide engineering design services to replace one (1) of two (2) of the City s 69/4.16 KV transformers at their Southeastern Container customer substation in the City of Bowling Green. The project includes the specification and installation of a transformer of a higher rating 12/16 MVA to replace one (1) of the existing 7.5/9.4 MVA transformers. Presently, the customer load typically exceeds the capacity of one of the transformers. The concern of a failure of one of the 30 plus year old transformers has lead the City to decide to replace one of the transformers at this time. The replacement will require close coordination of the plant outages in that the facility operates on a 24-hour, 7 day per week schedule. Shut down can only occur on Holidays and are typically limited to the holiday itself. The replacement also includes the upgrade of the transformers secondary underground cable circuit to increase the capacity to the 5 KV switchgear as well more...

2 Transformer Replacement as modifications to the protective relaying system. The new transformer will be installed in the same location as the transformer it will replace. The location and connection requirements were closely analyzed to determine modification requirements and the effect on the schedule for installation. The equipment delivery and contractor work schedule will require close coordination in that the transformer is planned to be set in place the day that it arrives reconnecting immediately to limit the outage time. A detailed listing of the steps required for the removal and installation has been developed to determine the timing schedule and to ensure all work items are prepared for and scheduled.

Whaley, P.E., Project Manager VEHTEK SYSTEMS AUTOMOTIVE BODY PANEL STAMPING PLANT PDG has completed engineering design through construction services for all four expansion phases for Vehtek Systems, Inc. Phase II, a 15,000 sq.ft. expansion of the plant, included installation of a 2,000 ton body panel press, 20 deep concrete press pit and foundation as well as a scrap steel reclaim tunnel. Phase III included a 50,000 sq.ft. expansion of the plant which included foundations, power distribution and cooling system extension for a robotic welding line for automotive body component sub-assembly. This Phase also included new pits and foundation for a new 600 ton press. Electrical distribution required installation of a new 12.47KV underground distribution system and service to the building. Design included pad mounted switch gear, 15KV underground cabling, switch disconnections and transformers in the plant. Project Relevance Multi-Phase Expansion Project Phase IV adds 419,000 sq.ft. of new space for a total completed building of 570,000 sq.ft. Electrical distribution more...

4 Vehtek Expansion Phases 1 4 PDG recently completed Phase IV of the expansion which houses hot stamping, blanking, and assembly processes, finished goods storage, and a new mechanical and electrical systems room. The low bay assembly and finished goods area was constructed from conventional steel structural systems and has an approximate clear height of 30 ft. with eight truck docks. The expansion also includes a high bay crane building for blanking operations and truck drive through loading bay, hot stamp operations with a mezzanine for the main electrical gear and control panels for the hot stamp lines. A 5,000 sq.ft. office addition and break room was also included in this Phase. Phase IV adds 419,000 sq.ft. of new space for a total completed building of 570,000 sq.ft. As part of Phase IV, the parking lot was expanded and a heavy-duty roadway around the plant was constructed. It also included coordination of a new intersection located at Poe Road.

Knott, P.E., Electrical Engineer Joel Sharrit, Electrical Engineer CAMPBELL S SOUP AMCOR POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM The Campbell Soup Company required electrical upgrades at its beverage plant to supply power to the new Amcor bottle making facility. The Amcor building required the installation of electric power distribution systems at both 4,160 volt KV and 480 volt. A new 69,000/12,470 volt, 10 MVA substation was installed to provide the power source. Due to the large electrical load of the Amcor facility, pad-mounted, oil-filled outdoor transformers were installed. The transformers included one 12.47/4.16KV, 3,750 KVA and two 12.47KV/480 volt, 3,750 KVA transformers. A line-up of 12.47KV outdoor switchgear was installed to supply the transformers. Indoor metal enclosed switchgear with draw-out circuit breakers were installed to supply the utilization equipment. The switchgear line-up was provided with metering and protective relaying devices for the protection of the equipment and arc flash requirements. PDG was responsible for the determination of the equipment requirements, specification of the equipment, and installation and wiring of the system. The outdoor oil-filled transformers were installed in a concrete oil containment area to meet EPA SPCC requirements. more...

6 Campbell Soup Amcor Power Distribution System This was a fast track, fully engineered, equipment purchase and detailed design project that was completed from beginning of design to power up in less than seven months. The design included equipment rating calculations, equipment specifications, structures design, foundations, oil containment, protective device, setting calculations, and grounding design cabling. Services included field check out, commissioning, start up and utility coordination.

Knott, P.E., Project Manager Gregory N. Chipps, Design Technician SUBSTATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION IMPROVEMENTS Tomlinson Substation PDG worked with the City of St. Marys to install a new outdoor 15 KV switchgear at the City s Tomlinson 69/12.47 Substation. The new switchgear will replace an existing indoor 15 KV switchgear which will be taken out of service. The project includes development of the specification of the switchgear and protective relaying, site layout, foundation design, electrical construction, and start-up assistance. Electric Utility 69KV Transmission Circuit and Distribution Circuit Underbuild The project included the design for the construction of approximately (1) one mile of 69KV overhead circuit and 12.47KV underbuild with State highway (expressway) crossing and permit. The circuits were extensions of existing circuits into a new area of the City. Project Relevance Switchgear Site Layout Reference Jerry Wolfe Electric System Superintendent 101 E.
