PROJECT HIGHLIGHT California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Medium Voltage Electrical Infrastructure Upgrade About the Project P2S Engineering is working on a major electrical infrastructure project at Cal Poly Pomona. This $15.4 million project will upgrade the existing medium voltage infrastructure currently serving the campus. P2S Vice President and Senior Electrical Engineer Aravind Batra is leading the design of this major electrical infrastructure upgrade at the campus. The university wants usage data to communicate to a central monitoring location at the campus via the existing telecom network. Our Solutions The project includes upgrading the existing campus 4.16kV medium voltage electrical system to a 12kV system comprising of a new 12kV medium voltage switchgear, underground duct banks, 15kV medium voltage cables and upgrade of existing 4.16kV medium voltage building substations currently serving existing facilities at the campus to 12kV substations. The upgraded electrical infrastructure will provide redundancy, flexibility, improved reliability and additional spare capacity to meet the growing electrical demands of the campus. Our scope will include providing preliminary design, working drawings, bidding and construction administration services and also includes providing cost estimates at each of the phases.
