Panhandle Power Solutions Enhances NASA's Kennedy Space Center Electrical Systems

Panhandle Power Solutions (PPS), a key member of Bristol Bay Industrial, has proudly announced its recent contract with NASA for a significant infrastructure upgrade at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This design-build contract specifically focuses on replacing the existing B-Line overhead 15kV electrical distribution lines.

The scope of the project covers a substantial stretch of approximately four miles and is a testament to PPS's persistent dedication to advancing energy systems that are critical to NASA's operations.

Project Features and Environmental Considerations

Apart from the primary task of renewing the electrical lines, the project entails comprehensive civil site work, which includes trenching, boring, and laying down durable concrete pads. PPS is well aware of the sensitive nature of NASA’s operations and has committed to collaborate closely with NASA's Environmental Assurance Branch throughout the process. The partnership ensures that all necessary biological surveys are conducted, minimizing any disruption to vital systems that include water, fire detection, protection systems, and air handling frameworks.

The cautious planning of power outages is crucial, as it is essential to mitigate impacts on NASA’s ongoing missions. This thoughtful approach has been central to the planning phase, ensuring that no crucial processes are hindered during the upgrade.

Commitment to Excellence

“This award signifies our unwavering commitment to the upkeep and advancement of NASA's electrical infrastructure,” commented Josh Bettinger, Vice President of Federal at PPS. He expressed pride in the collaboration with NASA, emphasizing how PPS utilizes its extensive expertise to bolster critical missions and enhance infrastructure that supports the space program.

This contract marks another milestone in PPS's ever-expanding portfolio of electrical distribution and transmission initiatives aimed at federal clients. The achievement further cements PPS's reputation as a trusted partner for mission-focused energy infrastructure across the United States. PPS continues to uphold its tradition of excellence in delivering high-quality engineering, construction, and electrical solutions essential for federal agencies’ operations.
