Maplewood #16

Substation Project

About the Project

The Maplewood 16 Substation Project will update equipment to support the existing substation and regional energy needs. The project includes installing a new fence that provides both security and noise reduction, building a new control house, and adding a new transformer. Before this work begins, crews will manage vegetation and remove selected trees within the substation property.

Phases of Construction

  1. Site Preparation

    The first step is clearing trees and brush. This work allows construction crews to safely clear the area for new equipment and remove trees that could fall into the substation yard.

  1. Environmental Controls

    Next, steps are taken to protect the area during construction. These may include mats, silt fences, and containers for construction materials.

  1. Substation Upgrades

    Next, new foundations are poured, a new control house is built, and other equipment, including a transformer, is placed. This work also includes installing a new security fence and sound wall along the residential side of the substation. Crews use heavy equipment, including cranes.

  1. Restoration

    After construction, crews restore the work area and return the landscape to its original condition as much as possible. (Unless otherwise specified in regulatory requirements or by a landowner).
