Abstract
Description
Since the mid 1990s, the Christchurch inventory of substation buildings was seismically retrofitted as part of the Risk and Realities improvement programme.
•
The substation buildings were retrofitted using a system of simple and cost-effective steel elements.
•
The 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes caused significant immediate disruption to power distribution network in Christchurch.
•
It took a single day in September 2010 and ten days in February 2011 to restore power to 90% customers.
