A 35kV substation for an air separation unit at Taihang Steel has been powered up.

It is part of the steelworks’ phase II substation project, which is being completed by CISDI on an EPC basis.

The Hebei Province’s substation will be providing reliable power conditions for the air separation unit when it goes into operation.  

The four-storey substation, which covers 2,677.08m² of floor space, is the largest at phase II.

It creates a stronger plant-wide power network structure and is equipped with a smart regular inspection system.

Working in line with the ASU’s construction, CISDI Electric’s team staged regular meetings to manage the construction schedule and resource coordination and discuss proposals. A high standard of safety, quality, efficiency and cost control was achieved.

Optimising construction procedures and enhancing concrete grades and strengths accelerated the electric project.

Team brainstorming improved construction efficiency, with the roof covering being completed two and a half months ahead of schedule.
