60651 | Substations and Power Improvements (Various, SEPTA)
These projects will replace existing equipment with modern indoor switchgear and state-of-the-art industry safety systems, communications and relay protection systems, and will provide additional power and reliability. Work includes replacing transformers, trolley breakers, feeder switches, substation switchgears and protective relaying. Power infrastructure must also be brought to a state of good repair. This includes replacing catenary systems and upgrading 80+ year old Regional Rail infrastructure. Additional power improvements will be undertaken as part of the Infrastructure Safety Renewal Program (ISRP) MPMS #90497.
