Dominion Power Proctor’s Creek Sub Station

Prestige was selected by Dominion Virginia Power as their Construction Manager, to perform all duties required to construct a new pumping station wet wall, control building, including the intallations of associated weir boxes and other equipment. Equipment installations include two sub-station Tranformers and one main switchgear package with remote control panels for the building. Also several pumps and motors, pump guide rails and a pump lifting system were installed.

Challenges met included the coordination of work around a major power plant installation ongoing on the site, during construction. This situation severely restricted the site availabiliy for logistics and laydown. There are also several trades required to perform the highly technical work in the proper sequence – creating a focus on the need for flawless coordination. The property is a highly secured area, which requires clearance approvals and limits work hours on site. Coupled with a very aggressive schedule required by the owner to ensure that the facility is operational on its required timeline to provide additional power service to the suburban Richmond area, it has been critical to complete each intermediate task and eventually the overall project on time or ahead of schedule.
