Connecting the new and existing systems in new central utility plant (CUP) for the Falls Church, Va., Inova Women’s Hospital and Inova Children’s Hospital created a challenge for the project team, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Along with an 11-story medical/surgical tower that opened in January 2013, renovations to the existing medical/surgical tower, a 10-story replacement tower for Inova Women’s Hospital and Inova Children’s Hospital, a new parking garage, and improved campus access, the Inova project included a $35 million, 17,000-square-foot CUP.
The relocation of the original generator required a disassembly and testing process that took approximately six to eight weeks.
While reconfiguring and tying the original generator into the new system was challenging, integrating it into a section of the existing hospital was even more difficult.
