Lake Hospital has grown tremendously in recent years and
TLC has played a major role in that growth. One of our
latest projects is the new three-story, 54-bed patient
tower and central energy plant expansion. The tower, designed
for a future two-story vertical expansion, is located
directly east of the main hospital and connected to the
hospital by a pedestrian walkway. Included in the project
is the renovation/expansion of the main hospital’s
east wing and the emergency department and renovation
of the three-story atrium off the main entrance. A new
temporary entrance is being added west of the main entrance
to serve as a patient drop-off and discharge location.
TLC engineers estimated that the nearly 184,000 sf of
new space will require an additional 750 tons of cooling
capacity and 100 BHPs of heating capacity in the central
plant. Our plant expansion design includes: the phased
replacement of three 300-ton centrifugal chillers with
three new 700-ton nominal chillers for 2,100 tons of available
chilled water capacity; one 300-ton chiller for redundancy;
and the addition of a new 100 BHP boiler to double the
heating capacity. The design leaves room for a fourth
700-ton chiller, bringing the total future capacity to
2,800 tons cooling. Installation of the new chillers and
piping required phasing along with nighttime and weekend
work hours to reduce downtime. |
