What is a traction power substation?
- A TPSS is a steel building similar in size to a shipping container.
- It provides electrical power to the LRT via the overheard catenary system used to power the trains. A TPSS converts electricity from the local power source to the levels needed by the vehicles.
- A TPSS is a safe structure that will not introduce any new risk to the community in which it is constructed.
- All TPSS structures are air-conditioned and therefore emit a low humming noise, similar to a residential air conditioner.
Hours of Work
- Work is expected to begin as early as Monday, April 29, and continue for two (2) weeks.
- Work will be performed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., seven (7) days a week.
- Note: Unexpected circumstances (weather, equipment failure, etc.) may also change the above interruption plans or prolong the interruption. If this occurs, we will endeavor to provide reasonable notice.
What to Expect
- Duct bank installation for TPSS 9 on the south side of Eglinton Avenue East between the East Don River Bridge and Credit Union Drive.
- Construction activities include: excavating, saw cutting, pouring concrete and installation of duct banks.
- Current lane reductions in place for road widening and reconstruction will be maintained. Construction activities will take place within the existing work zone.
