West Plains Engineering provided electrical consulting engineering services for replacement of underground 5kV pump stations down to the 5,000 foot level of the Ross Shaft. Main power distribution is at 12kV and WPE rossshaft designed the 5kV and 480V substations to provide power to 700HP pumps and other equipment in the shaft. This project involved removing water from the shaft for implementation of underground experiments for the current Sanford Underground Research Facility.
