Correctly separated Normal / Emergency Power infrastructure distribution.
Eliminated an over reliance on one single existing ATS. External Flood Risk mitigation by installing new ATS / switchgear / distribution appropriately.
This project consisted of replacing existing Electrical Services and Distribution equipment to correctly separate the three branches of Emergency Power (Equipment / Critical and Life Safety) distribution throughout the hospital.
Existing deficiencies discovered mixed power branches on multiple ATS’ and any failure would have resulted in 50% of building losing power (both normal and emergency affected).
The design to rectify existing deficiencies required the construction of four (4) new Electrical Rooms and incorporated the installation of a quick connect panel for an emergency street generator connection.
This project satisfied a DOH 5-year waiver requirement and legalized existing electrical installation / distribution system.
