Project Experience
NREL NWTC Site Improvements
This was a multifaceted, multi-phased project that included civil improvements such as site drainage and paving, a new salt storage pad, demolition and replacement of a 24” thick concrete slab at the 5 MW Dyno Building, extended sewer, gas, fire water lines and hydrants, and asphalt paving. In addition, there were three phases of new electrical service work including the Phase 1 Substation and Power Transformer T1 115kV with 1.5 miles of new underground feeder lines to feed electrical service for the entire 325 acre campus. Phase 2 doubled the substation size adding another T2 115kv Transformer and associated bus. Phase 3 was over 1.5 miles of 115kV Transmission lines.
NREL CGI2 Medium Voltage Infrastructure Upgrade
The construction of a new Second Controllable Grid Interface capability at NRELʼs Flatirons Campus including all the necessary civil, electrical, mechanical and equipment installation work. The Second CGI will be rated for 19.9 MW of power and will be interconnected to the Flatirons Campus internal electrical buses utilizing existing and new switches to enable parallel operations with the existing CGI as well as independent operations of each CGI simultaneously with various combinations of connected research articles and equipment.
NREL Flatirons Campus Bldg 251 Reconfiguration
The scope of this project is to construct new wall, finish, life safety, electrical, HVAC and lighting systems in support of the reconfiguration of the furniture, conference room and office layout of Bldg. 251 at the NREL Flatirons Campus.
NREL Lab 113/115 Remodel & Gas Storage/Distribution
This was two projects combined into one contract and included the remodel and build out of a new research reactor lab including all building services and research gases with lab casework, 5 fume hoods and 3 enclosed reactor pods with research gases. The second project was the construction of a new Gas Storage Pad and canopy with underground gas distribution into the research building and distribution throughout the building into research labs. Both projects included upgrades to gas monitoring and alarming. This project also included the reconfiguration of the smaller existing building gas storage to upgrade fire walls and roof mounted explosion proof exhaust system and rework of fire alarm and electrical. This was a large operational and fully occupied research facility with complex systems that must be handled with research and safety as a top priority. In addition we were working throughout the building and also outside for both gas storage facilities
NREL TTF Research Chiller
This project was the addition of a 97 ton Research Chiller located outside an existing occupied research building with new piping penetrating the exterior of the pre-cast wall and piping and ducting into both new duct and existing modified duct to receive new coils for research test loops. The owner supplied chiller and required equipment was to be located on a new concrete pad near an existing chiller setup on the north inaccessible side of the building. The new chiller was picked and craned into place from its previous location on the dock/drive. The pick was over the top of the north edge of the building.
NREL Wastewater Treatment System
Building 251 at the Flatirons Campus was served by one onsite water treatment system (OWTS) consisting of septic tanks and a gravity dosed leach field. The system was over 20 years old and had exceeded its useful life. The system was originally designed to serve 70 people and due to growth at the site, it needed to serve approximately 125 employees. The system had been hydraulically overloaded and experienced observations of standing water in the sewer lines. This new work consisted to construct a new OWTS in itʼs entirety to serve the current and future building occupants. This work was completed while maintaining the use of the existing system during the normal working hours for the entire duration of the project.
