I have an outdoor pad on which sits a MV switchgear lineup and three pad mounted transformers. We're replacing the MV switchgear and have determined that the only place it can go is directly in front of the existing switchgear. So for an interim period, we'll have the new switchgear lineup, behind that we'll have the old switchgear lineup and behind that the three transformers. I'm trying to determine how best to refeed those transformers. The work will be done cold but it has to be done within a 24 hour or less shut down.
What I'm wondering is this, is there a method for digging under the slab such that we can slide the new conduit(s) in and up into the window under the transformer. I'm imagining some kind of support provided to take the place of the ground you'd be removing. I don't know???? Any thoughts???
Oh by the way, I already know one part of the answer - very carefully!!!! Just thought I'd take that one before someone else did!!!
thanks,
Mike
