Projects

Shah Smith & Associates, Inc. designed a Central Utility Plant (CUP) to accommodate five 4 MMBTUH boilers, six 1,000 ton chillers, one 500 ton chiller, heating and chilled water primary and secondary pumps, expansion tanks, filters, water treatment, air separators, control room for O&M personnel, offices, restrooms, IDF room, electrical room, emergency generators, and cooling towers.

For this project the CUP will include:

IDF room.

Three of the five 4 MMBTUH boilers and associated supporting equipment and systems

The design of the chilled water system throughout Schematic Design; however, no chilled water will be installed

Chilled and heating water piping from the CUP to the new FIS/Terminal and to the existing system

Condenser water piping that needs to be installed to facilitate future work, e.g., piping under pavement and foundations

The design of the electrical system for the CUP to the extent that the related systems are designed. For example, electrical design for the chilled water system will go through Schematic Design in the base design and through Design Development in the optional.

Automated controls using DDC, integrated controls with existing CUP controls

One new 12.47kV electrical service from existing CNP equipment to new 12.47kV-480Y/277V pad mount transformer for CUP switchgear

Integrating power monitoring system with DDC controls
