Electrical Improvements: Electrical Switchstation S3 Project

current projects

UC Davis proposes to construct the Electrical S3 Switch Station, a project that is intended to improve the resiliency, reliability and safety for the Core Campus and Mondavi District medium voltage electrical distribution system. The project would construct a new 4,300 SF switch station (named S3) and associated infrastructure of duct banks and electrical feeders would provide full redundancy to the core campus and the Mondavi district. The scope of work includes construction of double-ended switchgear, which would be installed west of the Mondavi Center. New medium voltage (12 KV) bulk feeders are to be installed from the main substation in existing and new duct banks to the new on-campus S3 Switch Station. Approximately 5,000 linear feet of existing duct bank will be utilized and approximately 2,700 linear feet of new duct bank installed along with associated trenching and road repairs, new bulk feeders to be installed in a new concrete-encased duct bank along Crocker Lane and north to Hutchison Drive.
