This heavy electrical project consisted of demoing existing central plant and administrative buildings and expanding the masonry switch gear building while adding a new masonry security fence around the perimeter of the switchgear yard. The project required installing three new medium voltage (13.8 KVA) switchgear sections, including adding a new section for the new parking canopy photovoltaic system while protecting and maintaining critical, primary-feed switchgear in-place. Additionally, this project included the VA’s first design-build building project in over a decade. The building required the complete design and construction of an in-fill, two-story, 3,500 SF, administrative office building within the busy cafeteria loading dock alleyway.
