Engineers at the St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) have designed a system to mitigate against flood damage at the Union Substation. It is a three step process developed with GDM Lindex Ltd, a UK based independent goods and equipment supplier.

A river that borders the Union substation has been a longstanding threat during heavy rains. When the river overflows it results in water, mud and debris getting into the substation causing damage to the equipment.
