J.F. White contracted with the MBTA to install the electrical
finishes for Boston's new Silverline that runs 8,100 feet from South
Station to the Boston World Trade Center. As part of this installation,
J. F. White installed the AC and DC switchgear, lighting, overhead
catenary power, signals, communication, SCADA system, six emergency
ventilation shafts, and control systems. In addition, J.F. White
performed photo-metric studies to meet required tunnel lighting
standards.
To complete this job efficiently and effectively, J. F. White’s
equipment was customized to provide the necessary mobility and
flexibility for the 8,100 feet of overhead installations. For example, pickup
trucks were outfitted with steel work platforms that allowed the work
crews to safely access hard-to-reach areas.
The Silverline Power Communications and Emergency
Ventilation project shows J.F. White's ability to create innovative
solutions to challenging work situations.
