Using an integrated project delivery method, the team renovated MEP systems serving more than 1 million sq ft in the occupied hospital’s duPont Pavilion that did not meet current National Electrical Code for emergency electrical distribution. The HVAC system had also exceeded its serviceable life.
The project included design and construction of four 4000 AMP normal and emergency substations, distribution feeders, automatic transfer switches, emergency main distribution panels and other equipment in addition to “systematic migration of all existing electrical loads to the new electrical distribution [system],” the project team says.
