Installing High Voltage Submarine Power Transmission Cables for the Next Generation

摘要

Caldwell Marine International (CMI) completed, in 2009, the installation of 87,500 meters (54.4 miles) of high voltage submarine power cable in British Columbia (BC), Canada. CMI's sister company, Northeast Commonwealth Inc., contracted with Mitsubishi International to install the submarine cable plant for the Vancouver Island Transmission Reinforcement (VITR) project. The $295-million VITR project replaces an aging 135 kV transmission cable with a new 600MW-242kV system which will provide Vancouver Island and the Southern Gulf Islands with safe reliable energy into the future.
