The substation was scheduled to be extended by SP Energy Networks as part of the Kendoon Tongland Reinforcement (KTR) project. As part of the overall works package, the scope related to the pre-extension (pre-enabling) work including both Balance of Plant and Civils elements of works which was carried out in a staged basis in line with scheduled outages. The project consisted of the demolition of the existing circuit and the new primary plant installed with associated civil works (new bases cast) As the 132kV compound would remain live and in-service during the construction works so we had to ensure that the operational security of the site is not compromised. Also, part of the scope of the project included the secure removal of asbestos floor tiles from the control building.
