Description & Challenges

This project had been proposed to provide power supply to King Abdullah Project for Waad Al-Shamal City development, a world-class city to be established over 440 km2 with full range of industrial, business, civil and residential development in the North Eastern Region. Accordingly, five 5 new 380kV BSP S/S equipped with Substation Automation System (SAS) controlled remotely from the Energy Control Center (ECC), through SCADA/ communication system are planned to be constructed and interconnected with each other.

The challenging aspect of this project was that the design and engineering for all the five BSP stations has to be carried out concurrently and within a very short span. This requirement of the project, demanded us to execute this job in an integrated way on fast track. With our diversified team connected closely DAR delivered the design of all the 5 S/S simultaneously and completed all engineering services well in advance and supported the contractor to be on track.

Scope:

Complete design and engineering services for Civil, architectural, structural, Electrical works, Protection relay coordination study, Mechanical works, including material B.O.Q. preparation, verifying / technical evaluation of vendor base and detailed design submittals, technical advisory support & preparation of final as built drawings. Also our scope involves performing Insulation coordination study to verify the switching and transient overvoltage surge.
