ABOUT THE PROJECT
Our client, a major utility, undertook the Mesa Substation Project with the goal of transforming the existing 220-kilovolt (kV) substation in Monterey Park, California, into a state-of-the-art 500 kV substation. The
ambitious scope included expanding the substation footprint from 22acres to 70 acres, replacing critical transmission lines and structures, upgrading telecommunication systems, and relocating a 72-inch water
line to accommodate the enhanced infrastructure. This project exemplified a large-scale modernization effort to meet growing energy demands while improving system reliability and
capacity.
OUR ROLE
In 2017, Professional Safety Solutions, LLC partnered with the utility to create comprehensive project safety documentation, implement a robust safety observation program with interactive dashboards, and build a high-performing safety team. This team included a Project Safety Manager to oversee safety efforts, Project Safety Technicians for field operations, and a Safety Administrator for documentation and reporting. Together, these efforts established a new standard for project safety management, ensuring efficiency, compliance, and measurable outcomes.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of everyone who works on the Mesa project…safety has, and will always have, my full support.” Senior Project Manager Mesa Substation Project
