Adding some High Voltage substation experience to my resume. I don’t normally get to work on transmission lines and substations. Right now we are servicing a 260Kv (260 000 volts) transmission transformer. Tomorrow we will be pulling the high voltage bushings that’s you see in the pics and replacing them with new ones. All the oil will also be drained out of the unit to be replaced with new oil. The interior x0, x1, x2 and x3 high voltage bushing will also be checked for oil level. Then we can test it and she will be ready to fire back up when the time comes.

Huge shout out to Shermco Industries for bringing me out to the CNRL Horizon Turnaround 2021. They even decked me out with Si gear so I look like the rest of the boys! Another wonderful business relationship taking shape.

Well another beauty project in the books. Our portion of the Saddle Lake Lateral Loop project is complete. We pre-fabricated the Meter building and Instrument building in the mod yard and then did the field installation.

Fun Electrical fact for the day. Lightning strikes generally carry a negative charge, however 1 in 10 can carry a positive charge. These positive charges can cause sprites, huge electrical discharges Km’s long above the clouds.

A beautiful day here on the Alberta/Sask border.
