Electrical Grid Security


About the Electrical Grid Security Project

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.
