Accomplishments

BCTC - Upper Harrisson Terminal

(March 2009) North of Harrisson Lake, near the community of Port Douglas, British Columbia. Project carried out for the British Columbia Transmission Corporation. Supply of a 360-kV line control and production building, including the design and construction of the building, the manufacturing and incorporation of control panels as well as electrical work on the building.

Construction and electrical work was carried out with Électricité Grimard and Construction Grimard.

CAB for Hydro- Québec, Joly station

(2009) Joly station, near the village of Labelle, Québec. Construction of a compact automation building (CAB) to protect and control high-voltage lines, including supply, building construction, fabrication and incorporation of control panels, installation of telecommunications equipment, electrical work on the building as well as design and carrying-out of functional tests. Automatisation Grimard managed the project, supplied the material and produced the panels.

Supply of permutation cabinets and CCMs for the Paugan plant

(September 2009) Paugan hydroelectric plant, Outaouais. Design, fabrication, testing, maintenance and training guides for two main distribution centres: supply energy (600 volts, triphase) to the site’s secondary distribution centres.

Design, fabrication, testing, maintenance and training guides for three secondary distribution centres, provide all related motor control centres (MCCs) designed to supply energy to the MCC distribution cells, using one of the two sources connected to the DC cabinet via two breakers. A permutation logic makes it possible to transfer the supply from one source to the other should the voltage drop.

HYDRO-QUÉBEC, Kuujjaq power plant

(September 2009) Kuujjaq. Development and certification of switchgear cabinets, medium voltage, with internal arc resistance up to short circuit levels of 31.5 kA with peaks at 85 kA.

Production of a series of 12 switchgear cabinets to protect the generators of the new thermal power plant.

MONTRÉAL METRO (STM) Supply of disjunction equipment

(September 2008-June 2009, one substation per month) Montréal. Line 1 West, green line. Complete design and production of the equipment of 9 electrical substations providing power to Line 1 West. Equipment including 750-DCV disjunction cabinets, alarm supervision and substation automation systems, auxiliary service panels, transformer/rectifier alarm management panels and communication network.

Technical support during the installation, equipment implementation, training of network operators.

Rehabilitation of the protection of 500-kV lines

(September 2002-December 2006) British Columbia. Design, fabrication and testing of 500-kV line primary and relief protection, including the supply and adjustment of digital protection relays, fabrication of protection panels, laboratory simulations of network adjustments, functional shop testing.

Project management, the supply of production material supply and the manufacturing of the panels were carried out by Automatisation Grimard inc.
