E.S. Boulos Company's (ESB) utility/power group has been awarded and is well underway with both the new Roxbury 115kV/34.5kV substation and an 8 mile 115kV overhead transmission line project. Both projects were awarded to ESB by Iberdrola USA/CMP and are being constructed in support of the Record Hill Wind Farm Project, which is being developed by Independence Wind.
The new OH 115KV section 270 line will run from the existing Rumford Falls Hill substation to the new Roxbury substation. The 8-mile transmission line will be single pole davit arm constructed adjacent to the existing 34.5 kV line section 59. Construction began in early May and the fast-track project is scheduled to be completed soon. Pat Driscoll is ESB's project manager for the OH T-Line project and Timothy Murphy is the project superintendent.
The new Roxbury Substation is being constructed concurrent to the overhead transmission line project. The project will be headed by project manager John Carrier and superintendent Kevin Nesbit.
