Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand
230 kV Chaengwatthana Transmission Line EPC, Bangkok

Black & Veatch has contracted with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) to design, procure and construct a four-circuit 230 kV transmission line of 14 km length in the greater Bangkok Area, Thailand. The contract consists of the following three line sections: Chaengwatthana to North Bangkok Junction, North Bangkok Junction to Latphrao and North Bangkok to North Bangkok Junction.

The three line segments of this 230 kV transmission line pass through the very densely populated greater Bangkok metropolis where 10 million people live. This is a unique project crossing three major highways, an expressway and several primary roads, including a major river, crossing of over 500 m span.

Black & Veatch (Thailand) and Elin Engietechnik of Germany in joint venture are the EPC contractors of this prestigious transmission line project. The construction of the project began in September 1999 and was completed in 2001.
