400 kV Transmission Development of Ras Legrain
The Electricity and Water Authority's (EWA) mission is to provide reliable and quality electricity and water supply for the sustainable development of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Ras Legrain Transmission Development Project connected electricity customers with modern and efficient power generation from the Al Dur phase two independent water and power project (IWPP).
- 400 kV grid substation connection for the new 1500 MW power plant
- 80 kilometres of 400 kV feeder installed in challenging routes including the Bahrain oil field
- Phased commissioning of the substation to meet a demanding schedule
- More than 3 million manhours worked without a lost time incident
The ESB International team based in Bahrain at short notice mobilised an experienced team for immediate and rapid action on constructing the 400 kV substation and cable installation.
ESB International planners and designers used their extensive knowledge of the electric transmission and distribution system and other utilities to formulate viable cable routes quickly.
We secured cable route planning, permissions, and construction wayleaves to accelerate the cable installation task through careful consideration and intense stakeholder engagement.
Meticulous planning and continual review coupled with rigorous engagement with the numerous contractors working on the project enabled efficient resolution to the project's plan and engineering challenges.
