Award of Merit Specialty: Seattle Monorail Electrical Room Upgrades
Installed in 1962 for Seattle’s World Fair, the city’s monorail electrical system at Seattle Center and Westlake Center stations was overdue for an upgrade.
The team improved the system with new traction power switchgear systems, including two DC switchgear lineups, an AC switchgear breaker and a rectifier-transformer. The modernized setup also allows the monorail to control the system remotely with real-time updates.
