Neptune Regional Transmission System is a 65-mile long, over and undersea and underground High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system that features a cable that runs from Sayreville, NJ to New Cassel, NY. It carries 660 megawatts (MW) of energy, which is enough to meet the electricity demands of about 600,000 average-sized homes.
Following an extensive permitting process, PWGC provided various levels of personnel, from Principal through field/ environmental scientists, to provide independent oversight services throughout the construction of this environmentally sensitive project. Specifically, PWGC was responsible for review of project work plans, specifications, stipulations and interagency agreements to provide independent oversight and auditing services to the contractors performing the cable and sub-station construction. PWGC performed independent inspections and auditing of the construction activities pertaining to the many environmentally sensitive areas along the entire Wantagh State Parkway. This included Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan inspection for trenching, horizontal drilling activities, sub-station construction site (built on a former landfill), health and safety compliance, and NYSDOT traffic safety controls. PWGC ensured that any deficiencies were addressed immediately by the hundreds of contractors performing constructions services along the 13-mile stretch of roadway.
