Rising Edge Group’s ability to handle multiple roadblocks was seen recently when it finished a challenging interconnect project. This project included protection and control additions and upgrades at 11 substation sites, including a new Greenfield substation. The firm carried out three projects simultaneously at these sites for two clients, utilizing specialized equipment to connect a new wind farm generator.

A design team and project engineering lead resolved the project’s coordination challenges, while two dedicated execution teams ensured site and scope coordination.

Supply chain issues were overcome through seamless vendor partnerships, fast-tracked deliveries, inventory utilization, and material coordination with other projects. Efficient scheduling addressed wildlife restrictions and last-minute changes while effectively managing outages and scope additions. A mobile substation was deployed for installations and testing, accommodating potential changes and avoiding extra costs.
