Design/Build

Webb Electric Company has completed one small design/build project and as of March 2004 is about 30% complete with another much larger project at Great Lakes Naval Training Center . We will selectively continue to pursue design/build projects that are within the expertise of our design/build team. In our design/build pursuits we will make sure we completely understand the owner's needs. It is essential that the owner and the design/builder mutually understand and agree on the entire scope of work and that the owner's expectations are what the design/builder intends to provide. We will actively pursue projects that meet these criteria for our firm.

Featured Projects

NOLF Choctaw, Whiting Field, Milton, FL
Minority Specialties Services/ US Navy

Design and Construction Upgrade, FCLP Lighting System.
Contract Ammount: $375,500

This project was set aside for Small Disadvantaged Business competition only. We designed and performed this contract as a subcontractor to Minority Specialties Services, an SDB contractor in Pensacola Florida . The project scope included:

• Complete replacement of 144 "Pancake" Style L852N landing zone fixtures for two simulated carrier deck lighting systems.
• 4,000' of saw kerf, secondary wiring and epoxy sealant within the existing concrete pavement;
• 8,000' of 2-way 4" duct bank for series runway lighting circuits
• Eighteen 15" x 30" pre-cast airfield handholes
• Control system additions and modifications in the vault and the tower
• New constant current regulator and 5kV runway circuit selector switch
• Demolition and removal of existing fixtures and wiring.

Design/Build: 34.5KV Reliability Improvements.
Contract Amount $4,142,600

The Navy issued this project as a Two-Phase Design/Build solicitation. Phase I proposal consisted of Past Performance and Relevant Project Experience. Phase II proposal consisted of Technical Solutions, Conceptual System Designs, and Pricing. Webb Electric Company of Florida Inc. was awarded this project based on design merit and competitive pricing. The scope of work includes design and construction of:

• Automatic loop segment sectionalizing of the 34.5KV sub-transmission loop (figure 8)
• Communications assisted relay protection
• SCADA monitoring and control to each of nine total loop segments
• Addition of 34.5KV walk-in, protected aisle vacuum circuit breaker switchgear at three substations
• Single-mode fiber optic communications links between all substations connected by the 34.5kv loop segments
• Fiber optic communications links used by SEL 311L line-protection relays in communications assisted protection schemes.
• Fiber optic communication links used by SEL 2030 communication processors, located at each 34.5kV substation, to communicate substation status and control, to and from the Master SCADA controller.
• Relaying modifications are implemented at each of five existing 34.5kV substations by the addition of SEL 311L line protection relays, SEL 587 transformer differential relays, and SEL 587Z bus differential relays.
• Upgrading of the existing SCADA communications system from spread spectrum radio to single-mode fiber optic cabling.
• Installation of a 30" steel casing bore under a four lane state highway and parallel Union Pacific railroad tracks for 34.5kV and fiber optic circuits
• Installation of a new 34.5kV underground loop segment between two existing substations
• Rerouting and reconnection of several other 34.5kV loop segments to improve system reliability
• Installation of new 34.5kV station circuit breakers at the incoming utility substation
• Design Coordination of the 34.5kV system for paralleling a new customer owned Co-Generation facility with the incoming utility lines.
