Five Years to Completion

摘要

FirstEnergy builds the 500-kV Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line across 151 miles of rugged terrain. There were whispers it could not be done. But PJM Interconnection recently commended FirstEnergy for energizing the Trans-Allegheny Interstate Line (TrAIL) in May 2011 with nearly two weeks to spare before the required June 1 in-service date. The completion of TrAIL in just five short years proved a remarkable, if unprecedented, industry feat. TrAIL's success was a product of careful planning, exceptional teamwork and constant attention to project management. More than 4,000 people had a hand in the construction of this major 500-kV transmission backbone upgrade.
