Demolition, site work, new construction and renovation of a power facility in Ketchikan, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a power facility; for the construction of a power facility; for the renovation of a power facility; and for site work for a power facility.

Ward Cove Substation, a five (5) MVA capacity station, was constructed in the early 1990's and is approaching it's end of life. Scoping and design work will be required to develop construction and procurement plans in 2028. Work is anticipated to include replacement of the power transformer, voltage regulators, feeder breakers, conductors, bus work, grounding, 34.5kV circuit-switcher, control house, communications, oil containment, and fencing. The newly constructed substation, utilizing the same approximate footprint, must be constructed in a manner to allow for project load growth over a thirty (30) to forty (40) year life-span, and to also be capable of carrying some of Bethe Substation and/or North Point Higgins Substation feeder loads in emergency situations. Current estimate is $8.1M for construction, procurement, and construction management in 2029.
