With a final swing, the last wall of the sub comes down. This is the first 4Kv brick substation demolition for JEA. The substation is in the process of being upgraded. "A contractor working on behalf of JEA is continuing work on a project to upgrade the electric substation at 4461 St. Johns Avenue. As part of this effort, JEA will remove the existing brick building at the substation. The building will be replaced with a pre-fabricated structure to house electrical components, and other electrical equipment at the site will be upgraded to meet JEA's current standards, as the existing equipment has reached the end of its useful life. "
