Shahul,
Thank you very much, but im preparing only the construction part of the substation like Civil, MEP and Finishing work without the procurement activities. Ill just want to know the more or less the duration for Civil, MEP and Finishing for a 6,000 m2 substation.
Thank You
Pacifico
Hi Pacifico
Check the long lead material procurement duration with your project team because in substation you will find many equipment on approval of submittal they will undergo factory acceptance test which consumes some duration in some case it is critical
Dear Pacifico,
It depends on the location and the environmental factors. Say you need 3-6 months for procurement of equipment, and during that time you can get the Civil Structures up.
Say 9-12 months as as starter.
With kind regards,
Samer

Hi Adi
Just make sure that you can get the kit into the building before you seal it up.

The construction of a concrete substation is like any other concrete building but you need lots of block-outs. If it is air-insulated, then you have air-conditioning system.
