DESCRIPTION: PCI provided design and construction administration services for the replacement of the Essential Electrical System (EES) in this occupied 25 bed Critical Access Hospital.

The electrical design consisted of a new generator, generator pad, transformers, automatic transfer switches, uninterruptible power supplies, electrical switchboards, distribution panels, and branch circuit panels.

Additionally, the facility’s CT Scan imaging equipment was added to the EES system to enhance reliability of this equipment.

PCI served as the Prime Consultant on this project.

DESCRIPTION: PCI had recently completed a master planning project to prioritize replacement of normal and emergency power infrastructure at the hospital.

This project was an emergency project that resulted from the failure of a critical automatic transfer switch (ATS) serving the entire hospital including the acute care portion, of which, this was one of the items identified in the study.

The existing 1960’s era critical switchboard and ATS were close to failure and needed to be replaced as this equipment served the acute care hospital. Additionally, the hospital was cited for non-compliance as numerous normal power loads were intermixed with the critical branch. PCI designed new Normal, Critical, Equipment, and Optional Standby switchboards, associated automatic transfer switches, and redesigned the existing generator switchboard for code compliance.

DESCRIPTION: Lakeland Village is a state operated 24-hour facility with 52 buildings that provides all facets of training, education and health care for about 250 individuals with developmental disabilities. Lakeland Village is federally certified for 60 Nursing Facility (NF) beds and 190 Intermediate Care Facility/Mental Retardation (ICF/MR) beds.

The existing generator backed power system consists of a single emergency generator routed thru a step up transformer to feed a 15kV automatic transfer switch. The switch feeds a primary loop system with associated pad-mount transformers. Individual transformers are aggregated to serve multiple buildings and loads.

While this is one of the most efficient means of distributing generator backed power across the campus, unfortunately, it no longer meets current code, especially when buildings with different classifications are connected together. This study reviewed the existing campus generator backed power system, determined load calculations of the existing system and individual buildings, provided recommendations to bring each building up to current code, and provided budgeting for upgrades based upon the recommendations.

Multiple scenarios for replacement of the generation equipment were considered including utilization of distributed generation across the campus, utilization of a single generator, with different transfer switch configurations, and utilization of paralleling equipment with multiple generators for redundancy.

Lakeland Village is federally certified for 60 Nursing Facility (NF) beds and 190 Intermediate Care Facility/Mental Retardation (ICF/MR) beds.

This energy-saving project involves replacing the two existing 225 ton campus chillers with two 300 ton units. Additionally outdated chilled water supply and return pumps were replaced along with the exterior cooling towers. Electrical work included replacement of the existing service entrance switchgear, modification of the existing motor control centers to include new VFD’s and harmonic filtering.

DESCRIPTION: The master plan was designed to find ways to consolidate the utilities, services, and functions between three distinct but contiguous DSHS (Department of Social and Health Services) campuses comprised of Eastern State Hospital, Lakeland Village, and Pine Lodge Corrections Center. The master plan was in response to the need to address some of the failing infrastructure across the Medical Lake Campus, with the goal of reducing the capital costs associated with upgrading the failing infrastructure. The information and estimates provided in the master plan was used by DSHS to develop their ten year capital request for the Medical Lake Campus.

DESCRIPTION: This project started as a study to provide options for the replacement of the existing low voltage security electronics systems within the Forensic Services Unit of the Eastlake Building. The study and report identified current available technologies, and provided a cost implementation plan to develop the project for funding in the next biennium State funding cycle.

After funding was secured, design documents were prepared, and construction administration services provided for remodeling of the existing systems to provide new low voltage security electronics systems, including the following:

• Door control systems.
• CCTV systems.
• Intercom and Paging systems.
• Access control systems.
• Network infrastructure.
• UPS Systems.

DESCRIPTION: Design of multiple projects for the Eastern State Hospital campus, with multiple projects within the Westlake Building. The major projects for the Westlake Building include:

• Fire Alarm and Nurse Call Systems Replacement.
• Generator Replacement.
• Building Lighting Upgrades.

The Fire Alarm and Nurse Call Replacement project included the removal and replacement of both the fire alarm and nurse call systems within the existing secure psychiatric hospital. Elevator recall and electrical systems where modified to provide necessary code required interfaces to the fire alarm system. This project also included revising the network of the existing fire alarm control system on the Eastern State Hospital campus so that the new fire alarm system could connect to the campus network.

The Generator Replacement project removed and replaced the existing 25 year old 500kW diesel fueled generator.

The Building Lighting Upgrade project included the replacement of both the existing lighting systems in all five (5) patient wards and selected areas within the remainder of the rest of the psychiatric hospital. Moreover, patient room lighting systems were upgraded to include overbed fixtures for nighttime use; ward dayroom lighting controls were added for energy efficiency; and occupancy sensors were added to office and conference rooms.

DESCRIPTION: This project included a 42,000 square foot expansion of the surgery suites, new pre-operative and phase 2 post-operative facilities, and a remodel of the Oncology Department.  In addition, a new 4 story, 66,000 square foot medical office building was interconnected to the Oncology Expansion.

Electrical design included extension of existing normal and emergency power systems, extension of the existing fire alarm and nurse call systems, lighting, grounding, and provisions for future data/telephone, security, and CATV systems.

Modifications were made to the existing central plant equipment including addition of a new chiller and supporting equipment (cooling tower, VFD’s, chilled water pumps, and machine room emergency ventilation equipment); and modifications to the existing hot water heating systems including addition new pumping equipment and VFD’s.

Special design challenges included designing the Holy Family Catheterization Lab upgrade which utilized the same systems as the Surgery and Oncology Expansion as well as maintaining continuity of operations for the Catheterization Lab during the upgrade.
