Dawson Creek/Chetwynd Area Transmission Project (DCAT)Project*
The Dawson Creek/Chetwynd Area Transmission (DCAT) Project is a project that was completed by BC Hydro to double the electricity capacity in the area. The project included:
- a new Sundance substation located 19 kilometres east of Chetwynd near Highway 97
- a 230 kilovolt double circuit transmission line between the new substation and Bear Mountain Terminal (located about 12 km west of the city of Dawson Creek)
- a second 230 kV double circuit to connect Bear Mountain Terminal to Dawson Creek Substation
- expansion of Bear Mountain Terminal to a full substation
Hedberg and Associates provided a variety of services to BC Hydro including laying out clearing boundaries, marking danger trees and watercourses, locating structures, and preparing strip maps. We also completed timber valuations, carried out field cruises and prepared bridge site plans. A complete list of services is provided below.
