SUBSTATION DESIGN TEMPLATE

---

1. Schedule scoping meeting with the stakeholders.

2. Develop project planning sheet and budget.

3. Receive stakeholders’ specifications for equipment (breakers, transformer, switchboard panels, communication equipment).

4. Check approval drawings accurately and make revisions as necessary and submit them to manufacturer.

5. After FAT check final approval drawings with manufacturer’s equipment at the substation site.

6. On-site detail check of control cabinet drawings. Physical wire check.

7. Site visit with stakeholders for infrastructure and modifications improvements.

8. Review substation drawings for project equipment replacement.

9. Conduct real-time cost estimate and value engineering (save money) for project.

10. Define start and completion date for project.

11. Design/Check/Revise/Issue

12. Stakeholders be involved in periodic site visits to resolve technical issues and to reduce punch list items.

13. Final wire check and commissioning of switchboard panels, communication equipment, breakers, transformers.

14. Conduct post-mortem meetings with stakeholders for design modifications and improvements.

15. Develop design templates for future specific redundant design projects.

16. These steps should initiate cost reduction for the substation project.

We prioritize making sure the corrections are completed in a timely and efficient manner.  Field or as-builts are critical for the transformation of information to the next power substation project.
