Basin Electric transformer makes long journey
Loading...
Uploaded by BasinElectric on Jan 12, 2012
Oh, if this transformer could talk, the stories it would tell. The 172,000-pound transformer from Basin Electric's Philip, SD, substation traveled nearly 1,000 miles to reach its final destination at the Western Area Power Administration's substation near Watford City, ND, on Jan. 11. A quick look to any map can tell a person it's not a 1,000-mile journey between Philip and Watford City, but circumstances required a sizable detour through Baker and Roundup, MT, to avoid oil field traffic and soft roads.
Dwight Barth, Basin Electric logistics/contract adminstrator, arranged the complicated logistics for the transport of the 115/230-kilovolt transformer. He's moved bigger things over longer distances, but this one posed special challenges. Watch the video to hear him describe them.
