A New Model for Substation Design - National Grid
To cater for the needs of a growing population and increased demand for energy consumption, National Grid SA established a highly ambitious plan to construct a network of 110, 115 or 132 kV indoor Gas insulated substation (GIS) substations anywhere in the country. The stations would be developed using an off-the-shelf unified design to assist rollout and step down' high voltage electricity from the transmission system to lower voltage electricity to supply homes and businesses across the country.

DAR was commissioned by National Grid SA to develop this standardized design model to enable a reduction of the company's rollout plans by six months. The standardized design provided covered all civil/architectural, electrical and mechanical design requirements so that any contractor could immediately start construction activities after award with little to no modifications to the original design. The standardized design package was subsequently approved by NG and implemented in two successful pilot projects.
