History

 

2016

as a result of tender procedure, the Company acquired three following important orders from PSE S.A.: the modernisation and reconstruction of the Byczyna-Jamki and Byczyna-Koksochemia 220 kV lines, construction of the Baczyna 400/110 kV substation and development of the Pątnów 400/220/110 kV substation, together with the connecting section of the Kromolice-Pątnów 400 kV line. The well advanced development works of the Polkowice 440/220/110 kV station, Czarna 400/110 kV station and Dobrzeń 400/110 kV station are continued. The start of works associated with the construction of a two-circuit Czarna-Polkowice 400 kV line.

2015

the end of assembly works and start-up of the Ełk-Łomża 400 kV line. In a record short time was rectified the extensive breakdown of the Dobrzeń-Trębaczew 400 kV, where it was necessary to re-construct 12 pillars and over 7 km of the line.

2014

the commencement of construction/assembly works of about 86 km long 400 kV Ełk-Łomża power line.

2013

construction/assembly works were completed with the start-up of the most modern in Europe Ołtarzew 400/220/110 kV station.

2011

the completion of the construction of 400 kV and 2 x 110 kV Pasikurowice – Wrocław electrical line on tubular pillars.

2010

the commencement of the construction of the GIS-technique Ołtarzew 400/220/110 kV station, together with line connection sections

2009

the 400 kV line Ostrów – Rogowiec/Trębaczew of 106 km in length was handed over to operation. For the first time in the construction were applied the over-forest pillars needing cutting down trees for the pillar foundation only. The need arose to develop and implement the unwinding methodology of main and lightning protection cables using helicopters.

2006

among the objects handed over to operation the largest and most important was the Plewiska 400/220/110 kV substation.

2004

1980

the first 110 kV cable power line under construction

1979

the Company was entrusted with the construction of a power transmission system with the highest used voltage of 750 kV. It consisted of the 750/400/110 kV substation in Widełka near Rzeszów and the 750 kV transmission line from Widełka to the national border.

1977

In the first half of the year new electrical substations with record installed power of 573 MVA were handed over to operation, including a prototype, 400/110 kV Pasikurowice one. The unusual achievement was the reconstruction of the Legnica Północ 110/20/6 kV substation after flood damage. It had been completed within 6 weeks.

1975

Elbud Katowice did well as the General Contractor of electrical power objects of Huta Katowice (Katowice Steelworks).

1974

the Ist stage of development of the Pasikurowice 400/110 kV substation was commissioned to operation.

the company moved in a new eight-storey office building, where it has been seated until now;

1964

huge organisation efforts and the commitment of fitters, technicians and engineers resulted in a great success. The 400 kV sections were handed over to operation in Mikułowa and Joachimów substations;

1963

as a result of structural re-organisation, the electrical power construction branch in Poland, continuing the process of construction of the Country Electrical Power System (KSE) using the resources of Electrical Network Construction Works in Katowice, Cracow, Warsaw and Gdańsk, was consolidated and took the name of ELBUD Electrical Power Construction Enterprise with the headquarter in Cracow. The four Works operative until then had been incorporated into the new enterprise;

1960

the second international 220 kV Mikułowa – Berzdorf line, and the first stage of the 400/220 kV Mikułowa station are handed over to operation.

1956

the first control/measurement team was created to operate at substation construction sites.

1953

the name change into „Przedsiębiorstwo Budowy Sieci Elektrycznych” (Electricity Network Construction Enterprise) and a legal entity status. Fifteen complete projects handed over to operation, including six 110 kV power lines.;
