Lean, Innovative and Unique Project Solutions

Cianbro drove a majority of the sheet pile with a crane set-up inside of the energized substation. To ensure the safety of the project team, extra precautions were incorporated into work activity planning ensuring minimum approach distances were maintained and all materials and equipment were properly grounded.

Additionally, Cianbro worked closely with the client to coordinate two required clearances and ensure minimal impact to the client's power availability. This was achieved by replacing the transmission and distribution lines connected to the substation, allowing Cianbro to install the last section of the sheet pile wall.
