This consists of two main projects: The Central Energy Plant (CEP) Expansion & Renovation and Cancer Center Addition. In the CEP project, additional draw-out switchgear, paralleling gear, and multiple modifications to the emergency power system were made. The Cancer Center addition included a new 1000A service, a new LINAC, a new HDR, large infusion suite, conference room, and multiple patient rooms. In addition to these two main portions of the project, our scope included providing all low voltage systems including telecom, data, nurse call, and paging for the Cancer Center, OR Renovations and Expansion, and ED Renovations and Expansion. We were able to accomplish these projects by utilizing multiple superintendents to manage each element of the project individually. Each of the projects ultimately integrated together in some fashion. Coordination with multiple subcontractors from the same trade was a challenge, but was a success in the end.
