In less than a week, Bloom will be equipped with permanent power! Goodbye diesel generators and temporary hydro connections.

For the past year, we have been relying on provisional utilities to run the daily operations of the construction site. Up until recently, this has been more than sufficient to cover all the necessary bases including providing power for tools, lighting, heat and storm pumps. But with the recent completion of our show homes and 7 more completions set for early next week, the amount of electricity required to power the site is definitely on the rise.

Enter BC Hydro. They were on-site last Friday and brought with them a massive spool of wire. This wire was pulled through Bloom’s transformer via a rope that was placed within the conduit during construction. Measuring 225 linear feet, this wire was then fed to the primary electrical room in the parkade and will ultimately allow us to link into BC Hydro’s main feed. From the electrical room, the electricity will flow to each home’s hydro meter, through a conduit and into the outlets, baseboards and lights in the homes at Bloom.  Permanent power has arrived at Bloom, right in time for the holidays!
