WORK IN THE SINES SUBSTATION
The Electromechanics Department
of Mota-Engil, Engenharia e Construção recently completed the upgrading
works of the Sines Substation, a facility belonging to REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais, located in the parish
of Ermidas – Sado, a municipality
of Santiago do Cacém, district of Setúbal.
The contract now completed provided for the replacement of disconnectors, insulating columns and the maintenance
of metal structures and corresponding foundation masses, as well as the replacement of 400kV circuit breakers, given the proven capability and strict compliance with safety requirements, shown in the course of the work carried out by Mota-Engil Engenharia
e Construção’s employees.
During the contract, the substation was always kept in operation, with no power or service interruptions, a fact that
constituted an added challenge for the team due to the technical complexity involved, the partial deadlines of the network and the execution of most of the works in the vicinity of voltage.
With the completion of the contract,
all the objectives defined by the client were achieved, particularly regarding the defined deadlines, with suitable and compatible solutions always being found for the challenges posed by the project.
