Electrical Grid Security
About the Electrical Grid Security Project
Resiliency through redundancy. See how our electrical infrastructure updates provide power and security to our campus.
This project addresses unstable electrical cabling that supports service to 13 highly trafficked academic and residential facilities with a new feeder line. The poor state of the cable and lack of redundancy makes this northern area of the Ellensburg campus vulnerable to a catastrophic electrical outage. This project eliminates the risk of a major outage causing extensive damage and costly repairs. This project was executed as a public works design-bid-build project delivery.
