Southwest Louisiana Electric Membership Corporation (SLEMCO) reposted this
I'm thrilled to announce a major achievement this week as two significant substation projects I've overseen are nearing completion. The first project involved integrating a new power transformer into Southwest Louisiana Electric Membership Corporation (SLEMCO)'s Arnaudville Substation, significantly enhancing the area's reliability, capacity, and backfeeding capabilities. This meticulous process demanded extensive planning, long-lead material procurement, spot outage scheduling to ensure uninterrupted electrical service, and flawless construction execution. The second project was even more unique: replacing a power transformer at SLEMCO's Big Cane Substation and introducing a new control building to the existing site—a first of its kind at SLEMCO. This endeavor required parallel installation of relaying systems, recloser controls, AC power supplies, DC battery backups, SCADA systems, and other critical features alongside existing infrastructure. These upgrades will soon provide the substation with streamlined equipment troubleshooting, increased transformer capacity, and more reliable service. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the dedication of the entire SLEMCO team, who supervised and aided in construction diligently each day, our contractors for their safe and efficient execution, and consultants whose design expertise was invaluable. I'm proud to share some before-and-after snapshots of these transformative projects. While completing them is a significant achievement, we're already gearing up for the next challenges ahead! #RPB #SubstationProjects #EngineeringExcellence
