Summary
Our team is providing engineering, routing and public involvement services for the upgrade of the electric transmission grid in the Rosedale area of Kansas City, Kansas. With an aging utility infrastructure — some elements are more than 65 years old — updated equipment and redundancy systems are needed to establish reliable and uninterrupted energy service in this community.
The Rosedale Area Reliability Project will supply the necessary capacity and reliability. The project includes:
- Construction of the new Rosedale Substation
- Construction of a new 161-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the Rosedale Substation to the existing Barber Substation
- Upgrade of two existing transmission lines running from the Fisher Substation to the Armourdale Substation
- Routing analysis of the project area and potential routing corridors
- Final routing design
- Education of key stakeholders and elected officials
- Two public open houses
- Ongoing stakeholder communication
