ENTERGY FOURCHON SUBSTATION
Fourchon, Louisiana
Waskey began work for this project in the end of 1999. The project consisted of two separate platforms: the switchgear platform and the transformer platform. Waskey provided all the capsills, decking, and miscellaneous fabricated steel required for this project. Waskey worked closely with the owner’s representatives along with Albert-Garaudy & Associates and Leblanc Associates, Ltd. to ensure that all engineering requirements and the owner’s requirements would be met. To combat uplift, some unique requirements were added, which included: numerous voids through the decking and capsills to allow for longer anchor bolts to secure the buildings that were erected on top of the decks. Construction was completed by Waskey at the S. Choctaw Plant. The panels and capsills were delivered to the project site ready with all materials and necessities required for immediate installation.
