Substation will be built on in one level. CONTRACTOR will execute all necessary works for leveling the
ground: pull up shrubs and bushes, remove top soil and carry out ground scarification, cutting and leveling
(side-hill cuts and embankments). Leveling will be checked using tachometry.
4.4.7.2. Earthwork
CONTRACTOR will supply all materials, labor and equipment necessary for execution and termination of all
works, in accordance with the specification, and according Argentinean standards.
CONTRACTOR will never cut off any installation or underground conduction without the GOLDWIND's
written authorization and will repair any possible damage caused to these installations or services, at its
expense.
Adequate documentation of all topographical work carried out should be available, and GOLDWIND should
receive a copy.
4.4.7.2.1 Leveling
Removal work will be carried out taking necessary precautions to achieve sufficient safety conditions and
prevent damage to elements GOLDWIND has designated and marked to be kept intact.
Special care will be taken not to damage plant species outside leveling area, and all surfaces, trees, etc. that
are damaged will be restored.
From natural ground on which filling has to be seated, all stumps and roots with a diameter over ten
centimeters (10 cm) will be removed so that there are none left in the filling, nor at least fifteen centimeters
(15 cm) in depth underneath the natural ground surface. They will also be removed underneath embankments
with a height under thirty five centimeters (35 cm) to a depth of fifty centimeters (50 cm) underneath the
leveling.
All cavities caused by removing stubs and roots will be filled with the earth that has been left after clearing
the land, and compacted until the surface is similar to the existing ground.
All potholes and holes left in the leveling will be filled in according to GOLDWIND’s instructions regarding
this matter. Work will be carried out in such a way that people near to works cause as least inconvenience
as possible.
All forestry by-products, except wood that can be sold, will be managed according to GOLDWIND’s
instructions as regards this matter.
4.4.7.2.2 Excavation
All different types of excavations will be carried out according to civil works, building execution drawings
and specifications, and subject to modifications that, depending on the nature of the land, GOLDWIND
orders in writing. All non-authorized excess excavation carried out by CONTRACTOR, whether due to an
error made by personnel or due to any faults in techniques used to carry it out, should be filled with
embankment or type of land considered suitable by GOLDWIND, in the way it indicates, and the excess
excavation or the ordered filling will not be paid for.
In general, the finished excavation surfaces will be refined and cleaned up so that there are not blocks or
slabs in danger of becoming dislodged.
If it were essential to make shorings or proppings to prevent over excavation or for safety reasons,
GOLDWIND may order them to be carried out, at the expense and risk of CONTRACTOR.
All necessary work, material and equipment to carry out experimental tests, dumping, leveling, compaction
and filling tests is included in this concept, as indicated in drawings and specifications.
CONTRACTOR will position and flatten the filling to levels indicated in drawings and with densities specified
later on.
Before starting the filling work, CONTRACTOR will make some experimental embankments to determine
methods, machinery, number and speed of the most appropriate runs, according to demanded densities,
areas to be filled in and weather conditions.
The results of these tests will be subjected to the approval of GOLDWIND. This approval, however, will not
exempt CONTRACTOR from the obligation of reaching the minimum required densities.
Filling will be carried out by appreciably horizontal layers, with a thickness indicated by GOLDWIND, in
light of the results obtained in experimental embankments. A maximum thickness of 25 cm per layer will be
applied by default.
Compaction will have to be carried out overlapping the runs, at least, in a third (1/3) of the width of the
compacting machine.
If specified compaction conditions in on-site tests do not comply with the number of runs obtained in the
experimental embankments, filling will be stopped, and over-compaction carried out until the minimum
specified limits are reached.
If specified value is not reached, as GOLDWIND considers material unsuitable, the layer of filling will be
removed and replaced by suitable material. If material were to be considered suitable, affected layer will be
removed. In both cases, compaction will be carried out again in the specified conditions.
Material with less than 25% of cut up rock or pellets, with maximum diameters of 15 cm, will be placed in
sufficiently thick layers to contain the largest sized ones. Nevertheless, in no event will layer thicknesses,
before compacting, of over 40 cm).
Fragments or rock or pellets will have a maximum size of 30 cm and will be completely surrounded by fine
material. All necessary precautions will be taken to prevent gaps that could be filled, throughout life of
embankments, by erosion of the rock.
To comply with this condition, a procedure for carrying out sidehill cut work, guaranteeing a sufficient
proportion of fine material and suitable rock fragmentation, supplementing with breaking blocks that are
larger than those allowed or moving them to dumps or filling areas without support functions previously
authorized by GOLDWIND.
Each layer, before starting to spread the next one, should be leveled and shaped with the necessary
equipment.
Cut up rocks or pellets of less than fifteen centimeters (15 cm) underneath the leveling spot height will not be
allowed in embankment crown.
Each embankment layer should be compacted with the necessary humidity content to obtain the required
compaction degree, with authorized equipment, depending on the experimental embankment results.
Rollers should be previously approved by GOLDWIND who will dictate the equipment usage conditions,
specifically indicating the minimum authorized amount of rollers to be used continuously when making the
embankments, according to the cubic meters of material spread per hour.
The number of runs will be controlled to the letter, marking the area to be treated, until the entire area has
been compacted.
The most suitable humidity content is considered to be optimum corresponding to the normal or Modified
Proctor test as applicable.
Humidity content of the material to be laid will be dictated by GOLDWIND, considering the quality of the
land and equipment used. However, if there are no indications to the contrary, it should be as close as
possible to the optimum obtained humidity, and it is allowed to be slightly higher whenever the materials are
predominantly clayey, to guarantee the evenness of the compaction.
When adding water were necessary, the necessary measurements will be taken for the dampening to be
uniform, and all operations necessary for obtaining suitable humidity will be included in the price of the
corresponding works unit.
Leveling crown will be made up of selected ground, with the thickness and shape indicated in drawings, and
CONTRACTOR can suggest increasing or reducing the thicknesses after authorization from GOLDWIND in
following cases:
When more soil is obtained from excavations in borrow areas than initially planned.
When less ground is obtained from excavations than initially planned. In the second case,
GOLDWIND may authorize, if considers it appropriate, the use of materials defined as suitable
ground.
If necessary, borrow area land may be used for embankments. However, in this case GOLDWIND must
authorize this beforehand and as long as the land has similar characteristics to the area to be filled in.
If it were necessary to send the soil to dumps located in the works, CONTRACTOR should ask GOLDWIND
to approve or designate the place for dumping.
Any excess excavation, either in width or depth, will be filled in with approved materials, and compacted
according to GOLDWIND requirements and paid by CONTRACTOR. GOLDWIND may order filling in
excess depths with mass concrete or other suitable materials when considers it necessary.
The CONTRACTOR will draw up a Dumping Plan that should be approved in writing by the competent
authority and presented to the PROPERTY before carrying out any dumping.
Any rubble dumped outside the places authorized by the Dumping Plan should be collected, transported and
dumped in the authorized places, at the CONTRACTOR's expense. Any damage to third parties from
dumping rubble outside these places will be at the expense of the CONTRACTOR.
The rubble will be left in the skips so that it is stable and does not hinder traffic or the rain runoff. The
CONTRACTOR will pay for these skips.
4.4.7.3. Drainage
Drainage will consist of making drainage trenches with a drainage pipe and geotextile cover, surrounding
the drainage aggregate these trenches will then be filled in with. Geotechnical study will be used for the
design of drainage system.
Corresponding manholes, drainage outlets, channels, gutters and collection wells will be installed, comprising
a complete drainage network determined by calculations using the maximum rainfall data in the area.
Drainage network will be used to evacuate the rain to several drainage well distributed around the substation
(minimum height level), which will be determined on site, as there are currently no development or water
evacuation infrastructure in the area where the substation plot is located. A concrete gutter will be built
outside the substation enclosure, also evacuating to the lowest height point.
Drainage wells will be built according to hydrological study or water will be drained off freely if this is
allowed in by Environmental Authorities and the contrary is not indicated in Environmental regulations and
normative in Argentinean legislation.
Roads will slope towards the perimeter areas.
A pluvial draining system will be provided for rain water drainage, from cable trenches, roads and
transformer tanks with evacuation at dispersion chambers.
All drainage pipes will be mounted underground.
Domestic waters from sanitary groups will be outdoor drained to a septic tank (ecology type).
The building’s gutter downpipes will end in some manholes built on the pavement. The water will be
evacuated through pipes from these manholes to the substation’s outdoor drained. The water tank provided is
connected direct to water catchment pit pump.
Depth of foundations depends on ground characteristics and this depth will be determined according to the
geotechnical study.
As a general rule, foundations corresponding to outdoors elements (circuit breaker, rotative switch, instrument
transformers, surge arresters…) will be made with reinforced concrete insulated footings. In general, it will be
carried out in two phases. In first one, excavation, formwork and concreting will be carried out to suitable
height, leaving the anchor bolts (to screw the equipment supports) embedded.
In second concreting phase, the crown height will be reached and finishing will be carried out in a diamond
point shape. Also in this second phase, and in foundations that require it, pipes for passing electric cables
and earthing cable will be installed, according to number and quality indicated in construction drawings.
As a safety measure, foundation box’s slopes will propped up in points where it is considered necessary to
prevent landslides. Any water that may appear during excavation will also be pumped out.
After foundations execution, over excavation will be filled in with classified soil (natural graded aggregate),
spread and compacted up to 95% of Modified Proctor (M.P.) test.
A foundation will be made for each transformer 33/132 kV. This foundation will be designed to collect any
oil that may spill out of the transformer and sent it to the oil tank.
The power transformers will be laid in reinforced beams. It will be made out of reinforced concrete and
stainless steel pipes for liquids to pass through each of the bodies and store inside the tank. Its job will be to
collect oil in the event of a breakdown in one machine, preventing it from spilling onto the soil and protecting
environment. Oil tank will have a capacity of 20% more than the transformer oil volume.
It will be watertight, and suitably sealed inside and outside, applying two crossed coats of waterproof paint.
Concrete joints between the base and the walls will be made with reinforced bars, so that perfect water
tightness is obtained.
Rainwater evacuation will be carried out with stainless steel pipes and a pump, so that the excess water
comes out is discharged to drainage well.
4.4.7.6. Pipelines
All pipelines and manholes necessary inside substation plot will be made, including 33 kV line ones coming
from wind turbines.
Racordable prefabricated pipeline will be used with detachable covers for control, measurement, protection,
etc. cables to be used on the surface occupied by outdoor installation. These pipelines will be made with
prefabricated elements approved by GOLDWIND.
4.4.7.7. Fence
4.4.7.8. Urbanization
Substation area and access from existing road will be completely urbanized.
Road domains will be made according to drawings. Width of roads will be reflected in drawings, and
bends will be designed with a radius that allows trucks to turn around.
Road surface will prevent water from accumulating anywhere on them.
In access area, road will be completed on each side by water ditches, which will be connected to substation
drainage network.
Finished surface in outdoor switchyard area will be made out of a layer of 10 cm thick gravel, except for the
normal transit areas, which will be made according to the road domain description included in drawing
WE4123-ET_PEMSA-DW-04-ROAD_SECTION-Ed01.
No connection to public water supply network will be available, and therefore a tank large enough to meet
the installations needs (20 m3) will be installed, equipped with a suitable pressure assembly.
For sewage treatment, a septic tank will be installed.
Buildings will comply with municipal standards and with applicable technical regulations.
Buildings should also comply with existing standards regarding fire prevention (suitable fire resistance of its
materials, evacuation way design, doors with panic bar, etc.).
Rooms will be equipped with suitably calculated ventilation according to the equipment to be installed and
control rooms will have an HVAC system.
Wind Farm Control building (OWNER O&M) will have following separate main rooms:
Offices
Control room
MV switchgear room (with an underground gallery for the cables)
Telecom room
Battery and Charger rooms
A 2.0 m wide pavement will surround the building, with facing boulder, with high resistance concrete kerb,
laid on a reinforced concrete floor.
All trenches for cables to access the building should be perfectly sealed against humidity, particularly those
corresponding to building’s floor cable pipelines, which should also be made impermeable.
To make the earthing network, a basic mesh of bare copper electrodes with a minimum section of 120 mm2
will be buried. They will be parallel longitudinally and transversally to the enclosure, forming perfectly uniform
rectangles in contact with the natural ground, placed between 50 and 100 cm underneath the leveled
ground of the platform to allow to control the surface gradients and guarantee that the step and contact
voltages stay within the limits established by law, and taking into account the data provided by the
geological-geotechnical study. Also will be needed horizontal electrodes of steel covered with copper in
different points of the earthing net
Following specifications should be taken into account:
All mesh connections to junctions and branches should be made with thermal welding.
Device and structure earthing will be carried out taking a loop out of earthing mesh, and therefore
connections to mesh will always be double.
Loop connections will be carried out using a special copper part with an output for rod/cable, making
the connection at the bottom of the structure, support or device.
To earth the devices assembled on supports, this special part for loops, with a copper rod/cable will be
used, assembled on a rod holder or clamp fastened to the support, making the connection between terminals
with stainless steel nuts and bolts.
Overhead earthing network (overhead mesh, Franklin points, etc.) will be designed and executed so that the
entire substation is protected against atmospheric over-voltages.
When this installation has been finished, step and contact voltages and maximum resistance of the network
will be measured to confirm that these values comply with the standards, issuing the corresponding report.
132 and MV equipment for switchgears will be supplied according to TRANSBA technical specifications and
to the SLD.
Some notes to take into consideration:
Separate centralizing boxes will be installed in secondary of current/voltage transformers for metering.
Minimum cross section of cables (To be revised according Argentinean Standards):
Between CT and centralized boxes: 6 mm2
Between centralized boxes and protection cubicles 4 mm2
In the metering secondary it should be ensured that 50% of the accuracy load of the equipment is
reached, and therefore when necessary, resistances will be installed in this secondary.
MV cubicles
The MV distribution will consist of an input from the 33/132 kV power transformer or one or several
distributed outputs, according to the wind farm configuration, in a 25 kA single busbar configuration.
Furthermore, a voltage measuring cubicle will be installed, with disconnection and an output for the auxiliary
service transformer supply with a turns ratio of 33/0.400-0.230 kV. Also will be needed one protection
cubicles for capacitor banks.
In order to fulfill energy quality requirements, the referred two capacitor banks will be installed to compensate
the reactive energy. This type of capacitor banks will be installed outdoors.
MV installation will be carried out with metalclad type cubicles, with insulation in air and breaking in SF6 or
vacuum. The main characteristics of medium voltage cubicle will be according to the data sheet.
Switchgear assembly will consist of one single broken busbar according to SLD.
A low voltage cabinet will be at the top of the cubicles with the protection relays and other triggering and
control elements required for the proper operation of these cubicles.

It considers the following points regarding conductors, insulators, fittings and connectors:
The conductor to be installed in bars, downleads and taps to all equipment in the 132 kV area will be
ACSR cable, gauge 300/50 Al/Ac.
Also conductors necessary for the substation shielding must be considered (guard wire); to close the
shield, they will be installed in major structures, both longitudinal and transverse of the various electrical
areas of the substation.
The materials will be suitable for outdoor use.
For connections between power transformer and cubicles are recommended various cables per phase 400
mm2 of Al, XLPE 36 kV rated voltage. The section, number of conductors and length will be determined
according to the maximum power of the installed transformers, foreseeing an overload of 20%.
