Howe Ave., 69kV Upgrade Project

PSE&G is conducting statewide electric reliability improvements to upgrade its utility infrastructure. Working closely with PSE&G, the prime contractors are responsible for work such as demolishing existing foundations, control houses and grounding. Additionally, they install new 69kV yard foundations and GIS buildings, 13kV and 69kV manholes and duct banks. Enovate had been assigned the responsibility of track monitoring throughout the upgrades of the Howe Avenue Substation on Howe Avenue in Passaic, NJ while this work was being done. This involved closely observing the condition of the tracks to ensure their stability and safety during the jack and bore operations. Regular monitoring helped to identify any potential issues and offered the opportunity to take timely corrective measures. Additionally, Enovate was responsible for reporting on the progress and status of the project through documentation of all activities, reporting any challenges faced and status of overall progress. This project is a winner of a 2023 New Jersey Alliance for Action Distinguished Engineering Award.
