TRC Named Engineering Consultant in $3 Million Substation Design Project

TRC Companies, Inc., a recognized leader in engineering, consulting and construction management that provides integrated services to the environmental, energy, infrastructure, and real estate markets, today announced that it has been awarded a $3 million contract to serve as the engineering consultant on the Keene Road Substation Project for the Bangor Hydro-Electric Company (Bangor Hydro).

“Bangor Hydro is Maine’s second largest utility serving eastern and east coastal Maine,” said Glenn Harkness, TRC’s Senior Vice-President. “TRC will perform all of the detailed engineering design and specifications associated with the substation construction. The 345kV substation will accommodate a control house, breakers, all the necessary electrical equipment and supports. Work has recently begun on the project and the substation is expected to go on-line by the Fall of 2009.”

The Keene Road Substation Project is part of a system-wide upgrade, during which the utility will construct a new 345kV substation along their existing transmission corridor in Chester, Maine. The new air-insulated substation and associated transmission line rerouting will create an important new service interconnect, which will result in enhanced system-wide reliability and a stronger feed to Bangor Hydro’s Northern Division.

TRC creates and implements sophisticated and innovative solutions to the challenges facing America’s environmental, energy, infrastructure and real estate markets. The Company also is a leading provider of technical, financial, risk management, and construction services to commercial and government customers across the country.
