UIC Campus

Divane Bros. successfully completed a major medium voltage cable replacement project at the University of Illinois Circle Campus. Work consisted of complete replacement of 15kv feeders on the East campus in Chicago. Installation had to be performed around old, deteriorating cables with a complicated transfer scheme to avoid any interruptions to service. Outdated oil filled potheads had to be disassembled and replaced with modern, state of the art termination with extensive buss modifications. Divane Bros. Electric Co. established a close working relationship with University personnel. Detailed & carefully planned cutovers had to be managed for each of the 30 plus buildings with redundant feeders. 60,000 feet of power cables were installed without any interruption to service. Medium voltage splicing was performed using modular connectivity. Extensive testing and phasing needed to be consistent and performed in a totally safe and reliable manner. Divane Bros. Electric Co. was able to deliver the campus turnover on time, with total satisfaction from the customer.
