Underground Line Replacement Enhances Service Reliability for JCP&L's Barrier Island Customers
JCP&L, a FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) subsidiary, is undertaking a $12.5 million project to replace an underwater high-voltage power line serving New Jersey's barrier islands. The new 34.5-kilovolt line will be one of four power sources serving over 13,000 customers across multiple beach communities.
The project involves installing a 7,500-foot submarine cable using an environmentally friendly 12-ton sled that creates minimal disruption to aquatic life. The sled uses water jets at 150 PSI to create a trench one foot wide and over 10 feet deep. A barge will transport the cable equipment while pulling the sled at speeds up to 10 feet per minute. The project is expected to be completed by mid-December.
JCP&L, una filiale di FirstEnergy Corp.

Il nuovo cavo da 34,5 kilovolt sarà una delle quattro fonti di energia che serviranno oltre 13.000 clienti in diverse comunità balneari.
Il progetto prevede l'installazione di un cavo sottomarino lungo 7.500 piedi utilizzando un sled ecologico da 12 tonnellate che provoca minime interruzioni alla vita acquatica. Lo sled utilizza getti d'acqua a 150 PSI per creare una trincea larga un piede e profonda più di 10 piedi. Un chiattone trasporterà le attrezzature del cavo mentre trascina lo sled a velocità di fino a 10 piedi al minuto. Il progetto dovrebbe essere completato entro metà dicembre.

Una barcaza transportará el equipo del cable mientras arrastra el trineo a velocidades de hasta 10 pies por minuto. Se espera que el proyecto se complete a mediados de diciembre.
JCP&L, 퍼스트에너지(FirstEnergy Corp.)(NYSE: FE)의 자회사인 JCP&L이 뉴저지의 장벽 섬을 공급하는 해저 고전압 전선 교체를 위해 1250만 달러 규모의 프로젝트를 진행하고 있습니다. 새로 설치될 34.5킬로볼트 전선은 13,000명 이상의 고객에게 전력을 공급하는 네 개의 전력 공급원 중 하나가 될 것입니다.
이 프로젝트는 환경친화적인 12톤 슬레드를 이용하여 7,500피트 해저 케이블을 설치하는 것을 포함하며, 이는 수중 생물에 최소한의 방해를 줄 것입니다. 슬레드는 150 PSI의 물 분사를 사용하여 1피트 너비와 10피트 이상의 깊이를 가진 트렌치를 만듭니다. 바지선은 슬레드를 끌면서 케이블 장비를 수송하며, 최대 시속 10피트의 속도로 진행됩니다. 이 프로젝트는 12월 중순까지 완료될 것으로 예상됩니다.

Das Projekt umfasst die Installation eines 7.500 Fuß langen Unterwasserkabels mit einem umweltfreundlichen 12-Tonnen-Schlitten, der minimale Störungen des aquatischen Lebens verursacht. Der Schlitten verwendet Wasserstrahlen mit 150 PSI, um einen einen Fuß breiten und über 10 Fuß tiefen Graben zu schaffen. Eine Barkasse wird die Kabelausrüstung transportieren, während sie den Schlitten mit Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 10 Fuß pro Minute zieht. Es wird erwartet, dass das Projekt bis Mitte Dezember abgeschlossen ist.

Company using advanced trenching technology to help protect the environment
Once in service, the new 34.5-kilovolt line will be one of four high-voltage power sources crossing the Barnegat Bay to serve more than 13,000 JCP&L customers on the barrier islands, including the communities of
Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President,
A new 7,500-foot submarine cable will be installed using a special 12-ton sled that is designed to be environmentally friendly and cause minimal disruption to aquatic life. This sled, which is about the size of a school bus, will use water jets to create a trench. The jets will shoot water at a pressure of 150 pounds per square inch to create a trench that is one foot wide and more than 10 feet deep, allowing for the installation of the new cables.
A large barge will transport heavy reels of armored submarine cable and equipment while pulling the sled at speeds of up to 10 feet per minute. As the sled moves along the bay floor, the trench collapses behind it, leaving a shallow depression to mark the cable's location.
