Unique Challenge



The substation project had many unique challenges due to its unique positioning on the Portland Waterfront and tight site constraints. Cianbro worked with the Louis Berger Group to engineer a path to install the new duct bank in-order to avoid conflict with other utilities, coordinated work activities to accommodate the 30,000 vehicles per day that pass throughout the area, weaved through old cobblestone roads and turn-of-the-century utilities, remained sensitive to the communities’ needs; and interacted with over four dozen businesses around the substation site.
