Underground and overhead power distribution is the backbone of every commercial and institutional facility. Carleton Electric has built and replaced primary feeders, vault gear, and loop switching infrastructure in Ottawa since 1988. Our crews work with Hydro Ottawa as a routine part of the job, not an exception.
Carleton Electric installs and services the feeders, splices, and loop switching equipment that move medium voltage through Ottawa buildings and campuses. We carry the cable trailers, splicing kits, and switching tools the work requires, and we coordinate every primary outage with Hydro Ottawa.
- Primary distribution feeder install (underground and overhead)
- 15 kV XLPE cable supply, install, splice, and termination
- Loop switching and isolation gear install
- Duct bank, manhole, and base construction
- Customer owned primary wiring to existing transformers
- Hydro Ottawa coordinated changeovers and switching
Every high voltage job we take on starts with a written method of procedure, a single point of contact, and a Hydro Ottawa coordination plan. Switching plans are reviewed and our Hydro Ottawa coordination is locked in before the lift gate comes off the truck.
Switching plans are reviewed, hot work permits are in place, and arc flash boundaries are calculated before mobilisation. Live changeovers are rehearsed before the planned outage window.
If you are planning a medium voltage or high voltage project, send us the scope. We will respond with a sober assessment, a Hydro Ottawa coordination plan, and a real estimate.
