This new central plant consisted of building a new poured in place concrete wall enclosure for the additional equipment added.

The project involved building a new foundation and installation of an 890,000-gallon water tank. This required several drilled piles to support the large tank and new equipment over a very bad soil condition. The tank had a 2′ thick concrete pad placed on top of 39 (36″ dia) concrete piles that were at various depths. The 54′ high poured in place prestressed concrete tower was then placed on this new pad.

The project also included adding additional square footage to the existing central plant facility. This was accomplished by pouring 22′ high poured in place concrete walls with a decorative design to house the new pumps for the new cooling tower being installed.

The scope of this project was not limited to just the new tank and new central plant. It also included the re-piping of the chilled water system throughout the campus with over 3 miles of pipe placed underground.
