Power | Substation | GIS | Illinois
Project Summary
In Hoffman Estates, IL, a substation was upgraded from outdated technology to a modern design, significantly reducing its footprint. As the General Contractor, Aldridge led the project, coordinating with various teams, subcontractors, and trade partners to build a strong team culture. Aldridge managed both the base building and the GIS installation aspects of the project.
The successful completion of this project not only exceeded expectations but also left a lasting impression, paving the way for future opportunities. Key to this success were Aldridge’s innovative solutions and commitment to excellence.
Trimble technology was used to accurately map over 500 survey points, ensuring precise planning. Prefabrication played a crucial role, with most electrical components and a power skid built offsite and shipped directly to the site, saving space and improving the project schedule.
Aldridge's effective management of subcontractors and clear communication ensured seamless execution, setting a new benchmark for utility direct projects.
