New 380/150 kV high-voltage substation
On Good Friday 22 April 2011, 20 members of KIVI's Electrical Engineering and Construction departments and two KIVI bureau staff visited the new TenneT 380/150 kV high-voltage substation under construction in Wateringen/The Hague.
In a presentation, our enthusiastic hosts Frans Lodewijk (TenneT) and Dew Ramadhin (Movares) showed us the final plans for the station and gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the various construction phases. Of course, they also addressed how the station would fit in with its surroundings and the safety requirements for this station and how these would be incorporated into the design and construction.
Of course, it did not stop at a presentation on a screen, but we were also shown around the site and walked through 'the garden' and took a look inside a 'section house'.
The presentation we received that day cannot be published on this website due to confidentiality. However, you can find some background information about the project in Wateringse Veld on this website.
Description
On Friday 22 April, KIVI NIRIA is organising an excursion to the TenneT high-voltage substation under construction in Wateringen for its members of the Construction (and Electrical Engineering) department.
Due to the increase in demand for electricity in the South Holland region, the growing need for electricity transmission, the overloading of the existing 150 kV grid in the region and the security of supply of electricity, TenneT and stakeholders have decided to build a new 380/150 kV switching and transformer substation at the Wateringseveld location. This Wateringseveld substation will be built at Laan van Wateringseveld near the junction with the N211 motorway.
PPE (helmet and safety shoes) is mandatory.
NB. Preferably provide your own helmet and safety shoes as only 10 will be available to borrow on site! Op=OP. If you do not have your own PPE, please indicate this when you register.
Also, identification is mandatory.
NB. At the request of the host, this excursion is open to only 10 members of the Electrical Engineering Department and 10 members of the Construction Department.
