Substation Inspection Form
OVERVIEW
-
Visual inspections should encompass the entire substation area including the site, the control house, and all of the listed equipment and structures. The inspection will typically be made with the substation energized. Therefore, all inspections should be made from ground level to assure adequate safety clearances from energized parts. Binoculars should be used to view any equipment located on the structures. Under no circumstances should untrained or unauthorized persons handle, open, or work with energized electrical equipment.
-
All negative responses should be accompanied by a description of the issue, deficiency, or problem which requires repair or adjustment. Photographs should be included when a verbal description is insufficient or otherwise helpful.
SITE SAFETY
-
THIS QUESTION MUST BE BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO ENTERING THE SUBSTATION'S FENCED AREA

OUTDOOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT STORAGE
-
Is there outdoor electrical equipment storage present at site?
-
Surfaces show signs of leakage
-
Equipment foundation intact
-
Level gauges working properly
-
Valves, flanges and gaskets are free from leaks
-
Containment walls and spill pallets are intact (if visible)

C.I.AGENT BARRIER BOOMS AND BARRIER MAT DEVICES
-
C.I.Agent Barrier Booms and Barrier Mats are used for existing containment areas to prevent oil from migrating. Barrier booms and mats are essentially the same devices, because they utilize all of the same material combinations and are used for the same purpose.
C.I.Agent Barrier Booms and Barrier Mats should be inspected during the routine inspections of substation (quarterly / semi-annually).
C.I.Agent Barrier Boom and Barrier Mat Pre-Filters
-
Water flow normal and no visible obstructions
-
Replace with new pre-filter as listed in SPCC plan.
-
Integrity of pre-filter/geo-textile fabric intact
-
Replace with new pre-filter as listed in SPCC plan.
C.I.Agent Barrier Booms and Barrier Mats
-
Regardless of responses above, all C.I.Agent Barrier Booms and Barrier Mats, must be inspected completely at least once every five (5) years. Date of last inspection (if known)
-
The five (5) year inspection must include the following steps:
1. Inspect portions of the boom by merely pulling back the gravel in a small 2 foot area.
2. Inspect the boom material for thickness, should be from a ½” to ¾”.
3. Recover the boom or replace when directed. -
Evidence of debris, holes or solidification of barrier boom or mat (indicates exposure to oil)
-
Identify the spilled or leaked material and notify the Energy Control Center (ECC), if necessary.
-
Was ECC notified?
-
What are the present conditions? Why was the ECC not contacted?
-
Date and time called
-
Upon direction by the ECC, inspect all areas around the site for leakage. We're additional inspection activities conducted?
-
Was the location of leak found?
-
Do NOT remove barrier booms or barrier mat device until spill is completely cleaned up.
Upon direction replace with affected or defective devices as listed in SPCC Plan.
Disposal of waste material should be done in accordance to local, state and federal regulations.
See Section 4.4 of SPCC Plan - Spill Reporting & Emergency Response - 112.7(a)(4) and (5) for additional directions.
C.I.AGENT HYDROCARBON FLOW FILTERS (HFF) DEVICES
-
C.I.Agent Hydrocarbon Flow Filters (HFF) are used for existing containment areas and existing gravity drain applications to process rain water and to prevent oil from migrating.
C.I.Agent Hydrocarbon Flow Filters should be inspected during the routine inspections of substation (quarterly or semi-annually).
C.I.Agent Hydrocarbon Flow Filter Pre-Filters
-
Regardless of responses below, all pre-filters must be replaced every 6-months. Date of last pre-filter replacement
-
Water flow normal and no visible obstructions
-
Replace with new pre-filter as listed in SPCC plan.
-
Integrity of pre-filter intact
-
Replace with new pre-filter as listed in SPCC plan.
