The new 34.5-kilovolt line is one of four high-voltage power sources serving approximately 30,000 JCP&amp;L customers on the barrier islands, including the communities of <span class=\"xn-location\">Point Pleasant Beach<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Bay Head<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Mantoloking<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Normandy Beach<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Brick<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Lavallette<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Dover<\/span>\/<span class=\"xn-location\">Toms River<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Ortley Beach<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Seaside Heights<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Seaside Park<\/span>, Berkeley and <span class=\"xn-location\">Island Beach State Park<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The new line now safely sits 10 feet below the bay&#8217;s soft, sandy base. Each of the three cables that make up the line are wrapped with 28 strands of aluminum armor wire, providing robust protection and eliminating the need for a bundled armor casing commonly used in underwater power line projects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This project supports our commitment to using new, innovative ways to improve service reliability by utilizing an emerging technology that placed the submarine line in a safer location while also minimizing the work&#8217;s impact on the bay&#8217;s fragile ecosystem,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Jim Fakult<\/span>, president of JCP&amp;L. &#8220;The new line helps ensure that our barrier island customers will have the reliable service they need in these peak summer months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To bury the line, JCP&amp;L brought in a special underwater trenching sled, marking the first time the technology was used by any FirstEnergy company. The sled used water jets at 150 pounds-per-square-inch pressure to blast a trench about one foot wide and 10 feet deep in which to lay the new power cables.<\/p>\n<p>A large barge carried massive reels of armored submarine cable, hydraulic and water pumps, surveillance monitors, control systems, and other gear as it pulled the 12-ton, school bus-sized sled at rates up to 10 feet per minute. As the sled was pulled along the bottom of the bay, the trench simply collapsed behind it, leaving only a shallow depression marking the location of the line. The 5,800-foot crossing was completed in a matter of days. <\/p>\n<p>JCP&amp;L serves 1.1 million customers in the counties of <span class=\"xn-location\">Burlington<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Essex<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Hunterdon<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Mercer<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Middlesex<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Monmouth<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Morris<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Ocean<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Passaic<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Somerset<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Sussex<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Union<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Warren<\/span>.
