SCI Somerset
A medium security prison with ten housing units comprising 621,609 SF. Due to age, many original mechanical systems were obsolete, no longer supported, and approaching planned end-of life.
Project elements included:
- Design for three (3) 600 BHP rated water tube boilers to supplement and coordinate output with hot water demand
- Provide low NOx, dual fuel burners
- Provide new boiler and plant master controls and SCADA system with HDMI for all boiler and supporting systems including a means to measure and document fuel usage, energy output, and emissions from each boiler
- Replace all piping, valves and fittings for all hot water systems required to support boiler plant operations
- Provide a means to convey and use fuel oil from emergency generator underground storage tank to each boiler
- Upgrade plant ventilation and combustion air systems
- Provide new chemical treatment and filtering systems
- Upgrade BAS and provide electrical system modifications
- Provide construction cost estimates
- Start-up and commissioning of boiler plant and systems
The project also included replacement of rooftop heating and cooling units on two inmate-housing units, and replacement in-kind of existing aging tertiary hot water pumps.
