The CHPE is an innovative renewable power transmission project for the delivery of low-cost renewable energy to New York State, which includes the installation of approximately 339 miles of underground and underwater transmission line from the United States-Canada border to Astoria, Queens, NY. For the upland cable installation, KC is preparing the utility plan and profile, site access road plans, the maintenance and protection of traffic (MPT) plans, erosion and sediment control (E&SC) plans, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) , and drainage plans. For the Astoria converter station, KC is performing all civil and drainage design, including development of the site plan, site grading, and 3D modeling; vehicle turning analysis; and preparation of plans and specifications to meet all local and national code requirements. The project involves close coordination with many stakeholders, including municipalities, park lands, utility companies, and railroads.
