Project Objective
JEA upgraded the electrical equipment in your neighborhood. JEA contractor crews (Heart Utilities, Inc.) installed new protective conduit, electric cables, and PVC manholes between Bay Plantation Drive and Fernbank Lane.
This project included setting a new riser pole at the JEA lift Station located at 12901 Fernbank Lane, installing a new junction enclosure on Bay Plantation Drive to house the electrical components, and removing a portion of the existing overhead electric circuit between Fernbank Lane and Reggie Road. This project will help to improve the overall quality and reliability of your electric service.
The contractor installed the new conduit with a technique called horizontal directional drilling (HDD). HDD requires very little excavation, reduces construction duration, and is less disruptive to the surrounding community.
Construction Conditions
Construction primarily occurred in City of Jacksonville rights-of-way, roads, and easements.
Restoration of the Project Area
Restoration of the project area typically begins 2-3 weeks after the project has been completed. Any existing grass, sprinklers, pavement, curb, gutter, driveways and/or sidewalks affected during construction will be returned to its pre-construction condition.
