The two facilities were built on empty grounds near GTB and Lok Nayak hospitals within a fortnight.<\/p>\n
The Delhi government is developing healthcare infrastructure in the city keeping in mind the possibility of the third wave of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
These large facilities required an equally large power infrastructure. For this, BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) had been tasked with readying the power infrastructure on a war-footing, said the BYPL spokesperson.<\/p>\n
“The discom did it in a record time of seven days on each of the two sites. Between the two sites, the discom has laid nearly 7 kms of underground cables using trenchless technology,” he said.<\/p>\n
The anticipated power demand at each of the facilities can go upto 5 MW and accordingly, at each of the two sites, four distribution transformers, each having an installed capacity of 1.6 MVA, totalling 6.4 MVA were set-up, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
A team of around 280 discom officials and workers worked round-the-clock to install the electricity network that conforms to the best international standards, he said.<\/p>\n
Quick response teams, including senior engineers, keep a watch on the power infrastructure round the clock, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
