Davis Dam is significant for its role in control of the lower Colorado River, fulfillment of obligations under the Mexican Treaty of and economic development of the Southwest after World War II. The electrical switchyards are a critical element of the Davis Dam industrial complex, providing connection and control of electricity produced at Davis Dam power plant for transmission to regional markets and interconnection with other federal power plants by means of regional power grids. Report Prepared By: Kurt P. Schweigert Associated Cultural Resource Experts Golden, Colorado Date: October DAVIS DAM AND ASSOCIATED STRUCTURES, SWITCHYARDS HAERAZ-77-A (Page 2) I.

Introduction Two electrical switchyards provide connection of generators at Davis Dam power plant with transmission lines that carry high-voltage current to markets in Arizona, Nevada, and California. The 230-kilovolt and switchyards are located on excavated benches on the Arizona side of the canyon to the southeast of Davis Dam. The switchyard includes an upper segment and a lower segment separated by an escarpment, and the switchyard is located to the northwest of the lower portion of the switchyard. A concrete control conduit extends from the power plant, through the forebay/spillway gate structure, and eastward to the switchyards.

Ten high-voltage transmission lines terminate at the switchyards, and a low-voltage transmission line runs to the south of the switchyard to provide power to government facilities downstream. II. Architectural and Engineering Information The switchyard is a rectangular facility with general dimensions of x and an irregularly shaped extension about 50' to the northwest of the eastern end of the lower section. The switchyard consists of two sections separated by a 52' wide escarpment, so that the southwestern section is about 36' lower in elevation than the northeastern section. The upper section of the switchyard is set on a gravel pad and enclosed by a woven wire and barbed wire fence.

The x upper section has eight bays, with seven sets of oil circuit breakers and disconnect switches arranged along the north side of the switchyard and an eighth oil circuit breaker and disconnect switch near the center at the east end. The bus structure is eight sets of three steel towers with horizontal members at two levels. Bus towers and switches are set on small concrete pads, and the oil circuit breakers are set on large, thick concrete slabs. On the north and south sides of the switchyard are five small metal or metal clad fire control structures on concrete block piers, with doors facing the interior of the switchyard.

At the west end of the switchyard is a small concrete structure that provides access to a concrete control tunnel; the access structure is about 8' high and has a steel pedestrian door facing the upper yard. The subterranean control tunnel extends in a straight line from the middle of the upper section of the switchyard, through the centers of the upper and lower sections of the switchyard, to the west end of the switchyard; it then angles to the northwest, through the switchyard, to the forebay/spillway structure, and then to the power plant. The upper section of the switchyard accepts current from Units 1, 2, and 3 of the Davis Dam power plant by means of transmission lines running from the power plant roof.

The upper section of the switchyard is a terminus for four transmission lines: Davis-Mead (formerly called Davis-Hoover then Davis-Mead, then Davis-MeadNo. 1), Davis-McConnico (formerly called the Davis-Coolidge then the Davis-Prescott), Davis-Topock No. 2 (formerly called Davis-Parker No. 2), and Davis-Riviera. The lower section of the switchyard is x in general dimensions. The bus structures are identical in design to those in the upper section, except the lower section has six sets of three bus towers. The lower section has six bays, with five sets of oil circuit breakers along the west side and a sixth set at the center near the west end. Another oil circuit breaker serves a transmission line running from the lower to the upper sections of the switchyard.

Five small arrow-shaped structures are along the north and south edges of the switchyard. One of these buildings has been partly demolished, revealing a fire hydrant. An irregularly shaped extension to the north of the eastern half of the lower section contains a metal-clad, gabled, wood-frame service building that houses capacitor- potential device adjustment units, oil handling and filtering equipment, a repair shop and office, and a water pump. It has a poured concrete foundation, four-light fixed windows, and a sheet-metal roof straddled by two ventilators. Adjacent the service building are two large oil storage tanks on a concrete cradle and a large transformer that provides power to the switchyard.

DAVIS DAM AND ASSOCIATED STRUCTURES, SWITCHYARDS HAERAZ-77-A (Page 3) The lower section of the switchyard accepts current from Units 4 and 5 of the Davis Dam power plant by means of transmission lines from the power plant roof. The lower section is a terminus for two transmission lines: Davis-TopockNo. 1 (formerly Davis-Parker No. 1), and Davis-McCullough (formerly Davis-Mead No. 2). The Davis switchyard is x and has three bays. Bus structures are of flattop, strain-bus type with a double-buss switching arrangement. The switchyard has two transformers and a regulator at the southeast end of the facility. The bus structure consists of five sets of three towers with two sets of cross members and laterals and a third lateral on the east end of the north side.

Two switch control boxes are at the center of the switchyard, and spare oil circuit breakers are stored at the north corner of the switchyard. Bus towers are set on small poured-concrete slabs, and transformers and control boxes are set on larger poured-concrete slabs. The entire switchyard has a gravel pad and is surrounded by a woven and barbed-wire fence. The switchyard accepts current from the lower section of the switchyard by means of a wood pole transmission line, and also accepts current directly from the bus structure on the power plant roof by means of a transmission line. The switchyard is a terminus for four transmission lines: Davis-Kingman, Davis- Riviera, Davis-Silver Creek, and Davis-Aha Macav (formally called the Davis-Needles).

The switchyard also serves a feeder line for Bureau of Reclamation andNational Park Service facilities to the south of the dam and switchyard area; this surface line augments or replaced a double-circuit line that runs from an extension of the control tunnel at the southeast base of the forebay/spillway structure. III. Design, Construction, and Alterations The initial planned location for the switchyard was on the Nevada side of the canyon, to the north of the west end of Davis Dam, but that location was determined to be too distant from the power plant.

A second site on the west side for the forebay channel was also dismissed, in part because the site finally chosen for the switchyard complex provided much better terrain for transmission line approach to the switchyards.1 Under provisions of its contract for construction of the dam, the Utah Construction Company performed the excavation and grading for the multi-leveled switchyard plan on the Arizona side of the canyon, as well as the construction of the control cable tunnel. Switchyard In September the Bureau of Reclamation awarded a contract to the firm of Donovan-Wismer-James and Becker to install the electrical and hydraulic machinery in Davis Dam and build the switchyard. The firm began work on the switchyard in late and completed construction in mid-1951.

The switchyard featured sectionalized double busses, with the south bus arranged as the main bus and the north bus as a transfer for outgoing transmission lines. The switchyard also included single oil circuit breakers for Units 1, 3, and 5 and double breakers for Units 2 and 4. Each transmission line take-off unit was equipped with double breakers, and the spare line position was similarly designed.

The original design of the switchyard provided for the eventual interconnection with transmission lines originating from the proposed Bridge Canyon Power Plant, which was never built.2 General Electric Company provided five to 56,250/600,00-kva, to Y-volt, e-phase, 60-cycle, oil immersed, outdoor-type power transformers; complete with oil for a cost of Other General Electric equipment installed in the switchyard included oil circuit breakers, 1 Bureau of Reclamation, "Davis Dam andPowerplant: Technical Record of Design and Construction," United States Department of the Interior, 2 Bureau of Reclamation, "Davis Dam Project, Arizona -Nevada Annual Project History."

DAVIS DAM AND ASSOCIATED STRUCTURES, SWITCHYARDS HAERAZ-77-A (Page 4) disconnecting switches, and lightning arresters for at a cost of Gilmore Fabricators, Inc. of Oakland, California provided and installed the bus structures for the switchyard at a cost of $ As originally built, the switchyard had nine bays, with four bays located at elevation amsl (upper section) and the remaining five at elevation amsl (lower section). The busses of these two switchyard sections were connected though two 1,200-ampere, 3-pole, single-throw, manually-gang-operated, outdoor- type disconnecting switches with arcing horns, installed on supporting steel structures.

The switchyard had thirteen 3-pole, single-throw outdoor type oil circuit breakers, having an interrupting capacity (3-phase at rated voltage and frequency) of 3,500,000-kva, an interrupting time of three cycles and reclosing time of twenty cycles. The circuit breakers were located in the following positions: two breakers in each of Generator Bays Y2 and Y5, one breaker only in each of Generator Bays Yl, Y3, and Y4, and two breakers in each of Line Bays Y9, Y8, and Y6. General Electric Company, furnished the oil circuit breakers under Specifications No. Schedule No. 1, Item No. 1. The switchyard had two ampere, 3-pole, single-throw, manually-gang-operated, outdoor-type disconnecting switches with arcing horns.

The switches were located in the north and south buses for bus sectionalizing and were located adjacent to column Line 7 in the upper portion of the switchyard. The disconnecting switches were mounted on supporting bases above the ground and were not equipped with grounding blades. Each switch operating mechanism had an eight-stage auxiliary switch providing control circuits that could be changed to "circuit opening" or "circuit closing" as required.5 Unit No. 1 of the Davis Dam power plant was placed in operation on January 5, transmitting current to Bay Yl of the upper section of the switchyard.

The remaining four power plant generating units were placed in service by late fall, and the switchyard was completed and fully functional by the end of that year6 The switchyard remained essentially unchanged until when additions were made to accommodate a Mohave Electric Cooperative transmission line.

The additions included excavation of about cubic yards of earth for installation of a 30 MVA auto transformer with tertiary, construction of associated steel structure foundations, and installation of one kVA, 1600-ampere oil circuit breaker; two 1200-amp disconnect switches, and insulating oil facilities; about 245 feet of 7-foot chain-link fence; installation and connection of new lines from the main switchyard to the new transformer; and installation of lines from the new transformer to the switchyard.

The oil circuit breaker for the addition was purchased from Allis Chalmers Manufacturing Company, and disconnecting switches and autotransformer were purchased from Westinghouse.7 During the mid-1970s, Reclamation upgraded switchyards at Parker Dam and Davis Dam to provide increased capacity for the Parker-Davis Project, Central Arizona Project, and Pacific Northwest-Pacific Southwest Intertie transmission systems.8 Stage 02 work at Davis Switchyard included removal of existing foundations, modification of some existing foundations, removal of a chain-link fence and erection of a larger fence, excavation for grading and structures, installation of two single switch-operating platforms, installation of two double switch- 3 Bureau of Reclamation, "Contract No.

Like the switchyard, the switchyard was designed by the Davis Transmission System Design Unit of the Bureau of Reclamation in Phoenix.12 Emsco Derrick and Equipment Company installed the switchyard bus structure, two potential transformer supports, one voltage regulator switch support, eight single-switch operating platforms, and two double- switch operating platforms in late and early George E. Miller Company constructed the electrical wiring and equipment in the switchyard and transformer circuit in The company also constructed a long tap line from the switchyard to the structure on the existing Davis-Kingman transmission line.

Transformers initially installed in the switchyard were rewound units that the Bureau of Reclamation purchased from Wagner Electric Company in The units originally were 2,000-kVA, to volts, oil-immersed, self-cooled, and without trucks or geared tap changers.14 In Reclamation purchased and installed a power transformer and a voltage regulator for the switchyard.15 In Reclamation made substantial additions to the switchyard, including earthwork and relocation of the chain link fence on the southeastern end of the original yard; construction and installation of foundations, steel structures, electrical equipment, and wiring for additional service; installing equipment for 9 Bureau of Reclamation, "Parker Davis Project, Annual Project History," 10 Ibid.

Project Information This documentation has been prepared at the request of the U.S. Department of Energy, Western Area Power (Western), Phoenix, Arizona to fulfill Western's responsibilities under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. Davis Dam and associated features have been determined to be eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places as an historic district. Western has considered the effects on cultural resources caused by replacing electrical equipment in the switchyards that have become unreliable due to age.

This HAER documentation partially fulfills the Special Conditions of Compliance for Section 106 and the implementing regulations 36 CFR as specified in a Memorandum of Agreement between Western and the Arizona State Historic Preservation Officer. This documentation was accomplished by Associated Cultural Resource Experts (ACRE), Denver, Colorado. Kurt P. Schweigert of ACRE was Principal Investigator and prepared the second draft and final documentation packages. Douglas M. Edwards of ACRE was the photographer, and Peggy Beedle of ACRE assisted in field documentation and photography. Research for this HAER documentation focused on the electrical switchyards within the Davis Dam complex.

Most information was drawn from records, reports, and drawings and specifications held by Western Area Power Administration in Phoenix and Denver, and from similar documents held by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in Denver, Colorado; Boulder City, Nevada; and at Davis Dam. Information was also drawn from an intensive cultural resources inventory of Bureau of Reclamation lands at Davis Dam (ACRE andHRA Conservation Archaeology Research conducted for the current documentation of the electrical switchyards does not provide adequate information for documentation of the engineering character and construction history of the dam structure, power plant, and other features of the complex.
