How to build a substation from scratch

[@erikhope8315]

I'm in the IBEW and I just bid to a sub construction crew. Hopefully I can get over there!

[@tomferrin1148]

Very impressive! I was struck by the amount of underground infrastructure that was part of the build that you never see in the completed installation.

[@lielyncher755]

Absolutely, we just watched a massive grounding "mat" get laid out that may even tie into the heavy fencing. . I see this as more evidence that electricity is not manufactured but its managed. This is likely the lightning "arresting" part of the game that's part of the secret of our grid. Were hoaxed to believe a giant gas fed generator is pumping current across a trillion miles of wires.

You’ve never heard of “ ground grid”

this made me so very happy. In my past life I was a substation and seeing this and the music made me feel I was witnessing my birth as a substation and how I was created as a substation in my former life. I can now live the rest of my life more contently. Thank you.

This was awesome to watch, I have an upcoming interview for an electrical estimator position for these systems and this shown the steps beautifully. Thank you SA Power

Nice sharing. Thank you

Thank you so much for this video!

Nice video. Would be great if the component names could somehow be listed, or stated, at least once. And what conducts electricity.

you would get extra points if you add text explaining what is going on.

A substation build that seemed to go completely right

[@brucewinningham4959]

Are there any Geological, GeoMechanical, etc. testing of the Underground done prior to the building of a Substation on a Site to kind of ensure it is "unlikely" that an Earthquake or other GeoHazards MAY NOT occur for reasons of Safety? THANK YOU.

Cool, how many MW or MVA in the substation?

[@SAPowerNetworks]

Thanks for your interest in the project. The substation at St Kilda is capable of supplying 25MVA.

How many days did that take

BBC slow down and explain and why the clapping otherwise a very interesting programme ruined
