230kV class · Boulder City, Nevada · City of Boulder City / WAPA

Location: Boulder City, Nevada
Client: City of Boulder City / WAPA
Scope: 230 / 69 kV · Transformer + bushings · City's backup feed

The Boulder City Tap connects the city's 69kV system to WAPA's 230kV regional transmission, and it is the only backup source the whole town has. Getting it in meant setting the transformer, standing the bushings, and wiring the 230kV breakers and relays that protect the WAPA side.
