When weight restrictions on
nearby roads and bridges posed challenges to delivering a 314,900 pound electrical transformer, a Pepco contractor approached the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection for assistance.
The best way to get the transformer to Pepco's Norbeck Substation in Rockville was to send
it by train to the rail yard at the Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station. From there, a truck would haul it to the substation.
We developed a Right of Entry and Access
Agreement which was executed by all affected parties, including our
operations contractors.
Everyone assisted in making the delivery a
success! The transformer was moved from
the rail yard using specialized equipment and a trailer designed to distribute
the weight of the transformer over many axles.
It left the site under police escort last night, July 22, 2015.
