OUR EXPERTS’ SOLUTIONS
Grid Solutions Canada ULC, a subsidiary of General Electric Canada, hired BBA to install two 450 MW, 350 kV per pole, bipolar HVdc converter substations, two HVdc transition substations for marine cable crossings between Labrador and Newfoundland as well as three HVac substations and to extend an existing HVac substation.
Over 20 experts from various BBA disciplines—civil, structural, mechanical and electrical systems, project management and control—contributed to this major project. Our solutions allowed the client to lower construction costs by reducing the amount of steel used in gantries and by optimizing procurement activities, especially for long-term purchases.
