Kingsland-Hudson Transmission Structure Upgrade

Weekhawken, New Jersey

As part of the Northeast Grid Reliability Project, Kiewit designed, constructed and upgraded PSE&G’s existing 138-kilovolt power structure to 230-kilovolts to comply with requirements set by the regional energy grid.

Major scope included the design and construction of transmission structure foundations, upgrading and converting the existing 138-kilovolt transmission circuits to 230-kilovolt with new structures, power conductors and optical ground wire.
