This two story powerhouse is capable of providing 100% of the energy needs for the new Wishard Hospital Replacement Facility, and is located on the Wishard campus.
The facility is owned and operated by Citizens Energy Group.
The first floor of this facility contains two 3,000 ton chillers, chilled water pumps, tower water pumps, and associated piping. On the second floor are three 800 horsepower steam boilers and all related steam and condensate equipment and piping systems. Finally on the roof of the facility are two 8,550 GPM cooling towers. The entire facility is operated remotely by Citizens, which precludes the necessity for any operational personnel in the building on a regular basis.
Greiner Brothers installed all equipment, piping, and related systems in the facility. The boilers had to be rigged up to the second floor and through the side of the building which required the utilization of two cranes teaming up on each boiler lift. This can be seen in the photos below. Piping systems installed in the building by Greiner Brothers ranged as large as 36” in diameter. Greiner personnel in charge of this project were Steve Logan – Project Manager, and John Hunt – Foreman.
Another project also currently being completed by Greiner on the Wishard campus is the complete installation of all plumbing and medical gas systems for the new Wishard Hospital Replacement Facility.
