Reconnect cables to the temporary old cabinet to facilitate temporary
signal operations. Energize temporary signal operations.
Cabinet foundation replacement
Remove the old cabinet foundation. Install PVC extensions to ensure
proper cable routing and connectivity. Construct new raised
foundation to support new control cabinet.
