C3M Closes Out on WMATA RGO Traction Power Upgrades

Congratulations to the WMATA Red, Green, and Orange (RGO) Traction Power Upgrades project team for successfully closing out the project!

The scope of work involved electrical rehabilitation to upgrade major power and supervisory equipment at five tiebreaker stations, 10 traction power substations, and one service and inspection shop.

The RGO project worked with 18 subcontractors and many Clark Group partners to deliver WMATA a fully functioning system at each of the 16 substations.

To execute the work, C3M demonstrated its expertise with the traction power system, equipment, and site conditions, going above and beyond by actively assisting with troubleshooting, system re-design, advising, and coordination.

 Over the course of the project, C3M was able to mitigate over 110 calendar days of delay due to effective execution by C3M’s talented self-perform craft personnel and efficient planning with all stakeholders. The project performed over 150,000 certified payroll manhours and was awarded Clark’s Safety Platinum Award Q3 of 2022.
