A building
having one of the largest electrical distribution systems
and loads in the area needed to replace their 55 year old
infrastructure with new distribution. The multi-faceted goals of this
project included the implementation of 8 megawatts of existing on-site
diesel generators, 4 megawatts of new generators for 12 megawatts
total, paralleled operation of generators at 4,160 volts, closed
transition transfer between commercial and standby sources, and
installation of 23 kV 59N interconnection relays.
CPS Engineering
was retained as the lead consultant for this
challenging project. We coordinated the efforts of mechanical,
structural, civil, and architectural elements to design a highly
complicated multi-year construction that was installed without
inconvenience to the thousands of employees who use this building every
day.
