STV Incorporated was awarded honorable mention in Electrical Power Systems Engineering for the Wayne Junction Static Frequency Converter Station Rehabilitation Project by the Philadelphia Chapter of Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers (PSPE). STV participated in the Chapter’s 2022 Outstanding Engineering Achievements (OEA) program.

“This tribute is given to STV Incorporated for their roles in the development of traction power, electrical, communications, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, architectural, civil, structural, geotechnical, environmental, cost estimating, scheduling, project management, and quality assurance/control of the SEPTA Wayne Junction Static Frequency Converter (SFC) Station Rehabilitation project. The SEPTA Wayne Junction SFC Station, located in North Philadelphia, is the sole source of 25 Hz power for a major portion of SEPTA’s Regional Rail System, serving over 26 million passenger trips in 2020. STV’s role was to meet the challenge of selecting the required SFC technologies that fulfill the project design criteria, while integrating this technology into the existing facility infrastructure with minimal impact, and keeping the station operational to continuously serve the Delaware Valley Region. The team was also tasked with rehabilitating the facility, expanding it for the new SFC equipment, and upgrading all supporting auxiliary systems.”

STV and its team will be honored at the annual PSPE Philadelphia Chapter banquet on February 25, 2023 during National Engineers Week. #Eweek2023
