Joint Base Andrews – 66kV Substation & 13.2kV Switchgear Upgrade
Location: Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, USA
Client: MTNT Energy, Inc.
AMC/ISI supported the complete modernization of the 40+ year-old 66kV substation at Joint Base Andrews, delivering a full upgrade to primary and secondary switchgear systems across two facilities spanning 3 miles. The project involved the installation of new Weg transformers, Mitsubishi circuit breakers, Square D switchgear, and Schweitzer Engineering control systems. Despite delays due to permitting and asbestos abatement, AMC/ISI completed the project on the revised schedule with no disruption to base operations. The client received a fully modernized, state-of-the-art substation infrastructure with advanced remote monitoring capabilities.
New Luika Power Station – 7.5MW HFO Power Plant
Location: Mbeya, Tanzania
Client: Shanta Mining Company Ltd. (Shanta Gold)
AMC/ISI delivered a fully automated, turnkey 7.5MW Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) power station to support 24/7 operations at the New Luika Gold Mine. The plant included six medium-speed generators, an HFO fuel farm, heat recovery, compressed air systems, and a centralized control room with full N+1 redundancy. Designed to replace a rental setup, the permanent facility was engineered for live-load commissioning and over 15 years of reliable performance. Built in a remote region, the project overcame major logistical and engineering challenges to meet the client’s high-efficiency, high-availability requirements.
Temporary Power Plants – Modular 5–10MW Generator Facilities
Location: Multiple U.S. Military Bases, Afghanistan
Client: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Philadelphia District
AMC/ISI deployed modular temporary power plants ranging from 5MW to 10MW at key U.S. bases including Shindand Airfield, FOB Shank, and FOB Marmal. Each plant featured multiple synchronized generators, integrated fuel farms, MV distribution (4.16kV–13.8kV), and scalable switchgear to support shifting operational needs. Built under wartime constraints with aggressive schedules, these solutions provided reliable energy in dynamic and often temporary environments. AMC’s logistical precision and proven execution ensured all projects were delivered on time and within budget.
Bagram Airfield – 87MW Power Station Design & Construction
Location: Bagram Airfield (BAF), Afghanistan
Client: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Philadelphia District
AMC/ISI designed, constructed, and commissioned a permanent 87MW power station at Bagram Airfield to replace rental and spot generation. The facility included four Titan 130 turbines (10.5MW each), one Taurus 60 turbine (5MW), and ten 1MW reciprocating generators—all integrated through 13.8kV switchgear. The plant operates on JP-8 and TS-1 jet fuels and includes 396,000 gallons of on-site storage, connected to the base’s main fuel supply.
Kandahar Airfield – Area 59 Medium Voltage Power System
Location: Area 59, Kandahar Airfield (KAF), Afghanistan
Client: U.S. Department of Defense – Intelligence Agencies
AMC/ISI delivered a multi-phase medium voltage power infrastructure at KAF’s Area 59 to support critical operations for U.S. intelligence agencies. The system included 3.1MW of generation capacity, 13.8kV switchgear, multiple MV-to-LV transformers, main distribution panels, and a fuel farm with dual 15,000-gallon tanks. All cabling was installed as direct burial at specified depths for force protection. In Phase II, AMC/ISI added additional transformation and distribution capacity, ensuring reliable power for key facilities. When the originally scoped underground fuel tanks proved unviable, AMC/ISI redesigned the layout—installing above-ground tanks with concrete blast barriers at no additional cost. The project was completed on time and within budget, enhancing energy resilience for mission-critical operations.
