Utility and Infrastructure Protection

The City of Tallahassee proposes a phased project to design and install an underground electrical feed from an alternate electrical substation to Pump Station 149 and to elevate an existing transformer. The pump is located at 3301 Springhill Road, Tallahassee, FL 32305. Phase I includes engineering, design and permitting, and Phase II will include the actual construction of all mitigation activities. The project will reduce the impact of power loss during and after severe weather events, as experienced during Hurricane Hermine, allowing Pump Station 149 to fully function. The project will also reduce the risk of flooding for the pump station's transformer. This is a review for Phase I approval. When completed, the applicant will need to provide designs and construction documents for Phase II review. Activities will be completed in strict compliance with Federal, State and Local Rules and Regulations.

400.1: Utility Protective Measures (Electric, Gas, etc.)

Utility and Infrastructure Protection

The Town of Palm Beach proposes to bury overhead utility infrastructure, consisting of electrical, telephone, and cable communications in the north area of town that consists of properties between Country Club Road south to Southland Road and the south area of town that consists of properties between South Lake Drive and Hibiscus Avenue, from Peruvian Avenue to Royal Palm Way, and the properties between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, from Royal Palm Way to Seaspray Avenue, in the Town of Palm Beach FL 33480.

The Town of Palm Beach is predominantly served with electric and communications services through a network of overhead wires mounted to an estimated 2,000 wood or concrete poles. There are approximately 37 pole-miles of overhead infrastructure within the Town limits. The removal of utility poles and overhead lines provides increased survivability for wind storms and improved safety benefits by reducing the potential of hazardous conditions occurring in the event of natural disasters. Severe wind events can cause poles and/or overhead lines to fall and impact property and possibly cause live electric lines to be exposed. Downed electric lines and vegetation overgrowth onto electric lines pose a potential threat of property fire and injury due to electric shock and can restrict ingress and egress of residents and emergency services.

The project shall provide protection against a 170 MPH winds or the wind speed protection and impact requirements indicated by the effective Florida Building Code at the time permits are issued.

KEY WEST UTILITY BOARD

400.1: Utility Protective Measures (Electric, Gas, etc.)

Utility and Infrastructure Protection

KEYS Energy Services proposes utility mitigation activities for its transmission poles beginning immediately north and east of the north end of Seven Mile Bridge in Marathon Florida, running roughly parallel to U.S 1 (Overseas Highway) south and west to Key West Florida. Project affects zip codes: 33050, 33040 and 33042.

The project proposes to protect one hundred and nineteen (119) water crossing transmission poles highly vulnerable to several natural forces due to their location in a saltwater environment by installing a Galvanic Cathodic Protection System. This jacket technology will act to mitigate the structural steel within concrete utility poles from damage caused by the natural forces interacting with these poles due to their location within the marine environment. This protection is accomplished by both enveloping the base(s) of the pole(s) and by drawing the weakening effects of water and salt air away from the internal structural steel and towards the GCP anodes. As a result, the poles are more resistant to the natural hazards that would otherwise work to cause damage and ultimately failure, resulting in a more resilient electrical grid for southern Monroe County. Taking this action will also eliminate the need for frequent repairs and emergency replacements as the GCP will completely encompass and protect the base of the poles, the most vulnerable element of the poles and one that is vital to their overall integrity and functioning.

The project will provide protection against a 70-year event. Activities will be completed in strict compliance with Federal, State and Local Rules and Regulations.

Florida Keys Electric Cooperative proposes utility mitigation activities for its transmission poles located Northeastern Monroe County, South and West along U.S. 1 to the City of Marathon, Florida 33001, 33036, 33037, 33050, 33051, 33052, and 33070.

The proposal is to upgrade eighty two (82) of its distribution poles, currently relying on guy-wire anchoring systems, with stand-alone, self-supporting ductile iron poles. The protection provided by the proposed project will result in a higher design wind-load rating for many of FKEC's most vulnerable transmission poles. In addition to a higher design/wind load rating, the removal of the guy wires will eliminate a functional vulnerability for these particular poles. Subject to corrosive failure, and easily damaged by high winds as associated wind-driven debris, the elimination of guy-wires not only allows for a stronger, self-supporting pole system, it also eliminates the need for response calls, costly repairs, and the potential failure of non- or under-supported electrical transmission poles.

402.3: Infrastructure Protective Measures

Utility and Infrastructure Protection

The focus of this project is the protection and resiliency of critical infrastructure by harden the electrical services between critical government facilities and the substations that power them. The solution is to reduce or eliminate pole failure which increase downtime during severe storm and/or man-made events by replacing 491 non-storm hardened distribution poles with ductile iron poles. The 491 wood distribution poles do not meet PSC wind load standard of 150 mph, the goal of which is to be more resistant to damage from high winds and associated debris from tropical systems and other storms. The wooden distribution poles tend to fail due to either rot and decay in the sub-tropical environment of the Florida Keys or rust/corrosion of the guy- wires. This is exacerbated by tropical weather events, which place further loads on the already degrading poles and supports.
KEYS began transitioning from non-storm hardened and concrete poles to ductile poles in 2015. The ductile poles are completely resistant to rot, insects and woodpeckers and require less maintenance. They are made of 96 percent recyclable materials and are 100 percent recyclable and do not leach harmful chemicals.

The replacement of the 491 non-storm hardened poles with ductile poles will:
¿ Mitigate damage from events having winds of up to 150 mph
¿ Will reduce power outage time by eliminating the need to replace or stand up leaning poles making KEYS and the community more resilient
¿ Will reduce maintenance costs such as:
o Repair of rotting poles
o Ductile iron poles are completely resistant to rot, insects, and woodpeckers, so they require less maintenance than other poles.
o With a 75-year plus expected service life and low maintenance requirement, McWane¿s Poles have a lower life cycle cost than other poles.
o Ductile iron poles are engineered and manufactured for consistent strength and appearance, and, unlike wood, they will not shrink or warp over time.
o Inspection time will be reduced
¿ Reduce installation/replacement time in the event that a catastrophic event, beyond the Level of Protection (LOP) for this design does occur.
¿ Ductile iron poles weigh less than wood and much less than concrete poles and are much easier to drill than steel and concrete.

TALQUIN ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC.

400.1: Utility Protective Measures (Electric, Gas, etc.)

Utility and Infrastructure Protection

Talquin Electric Cooperative proposes a utility mitigation project in Liberty County. The total project covers approximately 10.2 miles located entirely in Talquin¿s existing electrical right-of-way. The project area starts approximately 500 feet Northeast from the intersection of FL-65 N and FL-20 E in Hosford, Florida 32334, and ends approximately 1,000 feet South from the intersection of Hoecake Road and FL-20 E in Bristol, Florida 32321.

The applicant proposes to harden the existing electrical system and provide a secondary source of electrical power to the communities served by the Bristol Substation. These communities are particularly vulnerable to outages, as they are radially served from a single distribution source. The proposal is to upgrade the existing 69kV line with a three-phase conductor, upgrade approximately 24 existing wooden poles with new higher-rated class wooden poles and install approximately 23 new wooden poles to support the increased conductor size and shorten the length between each span. Additionally, breakers / switches will be installed to create a double circuit, which will allow the Bristol Substation to be fed from either the Hosford Substation or the Lake Talquin Substation. The protection provided by this backfeed loop will reduce service restoration time during storm-related outages and minimize the number of customers affected in these vulnerable Liberty County communities.

The project shall provide protection against 133 MPH winds or the wind speed protection and impact requirements indicated by the effective Florida Building Code at the time permits are issued.
