The Campbell River terminal forms an important link between Campbell River and the Quadra and Cortes Island communities for residents and visitors alike. The Campbell River Terminal Development Plan (TDP) was approved in 2020. The Electrical upgrade will offer BC Ferries the ability to initiate future changes at the Campbell River terminal and help develop this terminal in a cost-effective, phased and efficient way over the next 25 years.

As the exclusive manufacturers representative for Power Systems Technology (PST) in British Columbia, PowerSafe supplied a 500kVA dead front indoor liquid filled MINISUB (compact unit substation) to the BC Hydro Primary guide.

BC Hydro’s Bridge River system is about 300 km north of Vancouver and consists of the Lajoie Dam and Powerhouse (Downton Reservoir), Bridge 1 and 2 Powerhouses (Terzaghi Dam and Carpenter Lake Reservoir) and Seton Dam and Powerhouse (Seton Lake). Two of the powerhouses in our area are equipped with 300KW emergency backup diesel generators. The generator sets have been underloaded during normal testing which can be detrimental to the diesel motors as they like to be run with 80% load.

PowerSafe supplies Mosebach Loadbanks 300kW Portable Load Bank to BC Hydro. As the exclusive manufacturers representative for Mosebach Manufacturing in Western Canada, PowerSafe supplies a 300kW portable (trailer mounted) resistive multi-voltage load bank to BC Hydro for routine generator maintenance. Over the last 3-years PowerSafe has supplied 100 plus load banks in Western Canada.

Metro Vancouver’s drinking water comes from reservoirs in three watersheds – Capilano, Seymour and Coquitlam. The Seymour-Capilano Filtration Plant (SCFP) treats water from both the Seymour and Capilano sources. The plant is located in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve, and is the largest water filtration plant in Canada. It began distributing water to the residents of Metro Vancouver in December 2009, and has the capacity to produce up to 1.8 billion liters per day. The primary objective of the filtration plant is the removal of particulates, organic matter and micro-organisms that are naturally present in the source water. This ensures a safe and high quality of drinking water that exceeds the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality.

PowerSafe supplies Technologies DualADE 15kV Arc Resistant Medium Voltage Switchgear to Metro Vancouver. As the exclusive manufacturers representative for DualADE Switchgear (of Sherbrook, QC) in British Columbia, PowerSafe supplied a 15 Cell 15kV Arc Resistant Type 2C switchgear to Metro Vancouver together with the MCC line up and paralleling controls for 3x 2.8MW standby generator sets.

Client: Metro Vancouver: A new pump station near Golden Ears Way and 113B Avenue in Maple Ridge will replace the existing pump station and will help move wastewater from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to the treatment plant in the Township of Langley. A new storage tank, next to the pump station, will temporarily store wastewater to prevent overflows during storms.

As Dual Ade excusive agent in BC, PowerSafe supplies Arc Resistance Type-2C Medium Voltage Unit Substation for this project. In addition, PowerSafe’s team provides all on site startup, commissioning and site testing for this project as well.

MET Printers was in the process of renovating and designing an existing purpose built printing facility in Vancouver, BC which required an electrical upgrade from 500kVA to 1500kVA. With the existing space restrictions, the client would have had to give up a large portion of the printing floor to install the new 1500kVA unit sub, however once the PST MINISUB solution was introduced by PowerSafe, installation could take place in an existing alcove originally designed to house a 500kVA unit substation. Our product offering was able to offer savings to the client as well as a significant amount of real estate, installation and cabling costs.

PowerSafe Supplied Power Systems Technology (PST), BC-Hydro accepted, Service Entrance 1500kVA Unit Substation (MINISUB). As the exclusive manufacturers representative for Power Systems Technology (PST) in British Columbia, PowerSafe supplied a 1500kVA dead-front unit substation compliant to BC-Hydro’s primary guide. The MINISUB being one of three BC Hydro accepted dead front unit substation suppliers. The MINISUB is a compact unit substation package, the 1500kVA MINISUB with the smallest footprint in the industry, was installed in an alcove designed for a 500kVA traditional unit substation.

The Site C Dam, a BC Hydro project for a large-scale earth fill hydroelectric dam on the Peace River near Fort St. John in northeastern British Columbia, Canada.[1] The site is downstream from the existing W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams. Designs call for an estimated peak capacity of approximately 1,100 MW, average output of 900 MW, and an annual output of 5,100 GWh of electricity.[2] When completed, Site C will be the first large dam built in BC since 1984 and BC’s fourth largest producer of electricity
