Exxon Refinery USA Bulk Station Modification Project
In 1998 Exxon Refinery USA approved a substantial modification to their Baton Rouge, Louisiana refining complex. This revamp included changes of four of their two-hundred-thousand-volt (230kv) to thirteen-thousand- eight-hundred-volt (13.8kv) bulk electrical distribution stations. The modification altered the refinery scheme from a single-breaker-single-bus to a double-breaker-double-bus scheme.
ISC's scope of work included 100% of the electrical modifications and pre-testing. Over the fifteen-month duration of the project, ISC maintained a workforce of thirteen associates. Over 35,700 man hours were spent by ISC to complete the electrical portion of this project, which ended in March of 1999.
The Exxon Refinery Revamp Project was divided into four major work areas: Electrical Bulk Stations #1; Electrical Bulk Station #2; Electrical Bulk Station #3; Electrical Bulk Station #4.

This project won a national ABC Eagle Award in
1999, as well as an ABC Pelican Chapter Excellence in Construction
Award.
During
that same year, the design and engineering firm, Power Systems
Development, Inc. (PSD), awarded Industrial Specialty Contractors
(ISC) a lump sum contract of $1.2 Million for any labor,
supervision, equipment and materials not furnished by other involved
parties. 
As
an integral part of the Project Construction Team, ISC's
participation in the decision-making process was not limited to the
electrical aspects of the construction. The goal of the project team
was to complete a safe and successful project without interruption
to the operating facility power during these modifications.
