Paschen (GC) * Project Manager: Barney Gray (GM), Premal Vora (PM) Detailed Overview of Scope: Construct three (3) new traction power substations namely, Farwell, Armitage, Hill. * Modify Orleans switch room. * Modify Weed switch room. * Modify Sedgwick substation. Slide #4 Project Title: Traction Power Systems Upgrades and Improvements * Impact on Customers: 9 single tracks, and 6 reroutes. Street and lane closures around worksites, curtailed access to resident garages (at Armitage). * Benefit to System: Additional traction power capacity, reduced traction power related train defects, improved reliability for revenue service, and improved safety. * Benefit to Community: Improved safety. * Impact on Accessibility: None * Estimated # of Jobs Created: 89 * Customer Communication Need: Construction activity notices will be needed to alert businesses and residents to weekend, night work and power outages. Comparable Projects: * NA Slide #5 Project Title: Traction Power Systems Upgrades and Improvements Construction Progress: * Farwell – Traction power equipment is installed. Connection to rails continues; once complete, substation can be energized. * Armitage – The last CTA track column replacement work began with earth retention installation, excavation, lagging and bracing installation followed by temporary shoring. Building foundation work continues. * Hill – Traction power equipment is installed and is being tested. Site utilities are installed. Duct bank work is continuing, with cable pulling and splicing from the substation. o Subway duct bank installation began. Delay Explanation: * Unforeseen underground conditions and high water table have been encountered within CTA right of way at Armitage Substation, creating a delay and requiring site dewatering prior to interior column excavation work. * Unsuitable soils and unforeseen underground conditions have been encountered within CTA right of way in the Hill duct bank installation.
