Secure Facilities

Children’s National Medical Center

Washington, DC

SWSG prepared construction documents and oversaw construction administration for the replacement of the existing emergency power plant for Children’s Hospital.  Phase-I of the new plant includes four 1MW generators and paralleling gear feeding 42 existing closed transition ATS’s located throughout the hospital complex.  The new generators were installed under the heliport requiring close coordination with flight operations. Phase-II included three 1.5 MW generators and paralleling switchgear, distribution gear, and a 60,000 gallon main fuel storage system.  This project required extensive structural upgrades, architectural modifications, multiple banks of generators, matching paralleling gear, fueling system, fire protection, and sound attenuating enclosure.
