MEHT UPS Room Building Project

Description

MEHT Broomfield Hospital - UPS Upgrade Building Works Project : We are preparing a preliminary list of tenderers for the proposed upgrading of major UPS and electrical infrastructure systems that support essential clinical services at Broomfield Hospital. The scheme will include the replacement of critical UPS equipment, Low Voltage (LV) sub and main distribution cabling and new LV switch panels, complete with new High Voltage substation comprising of new RMU and Transformer. The new equipment will be housed in two separate locations across the hospital site. The first location will be a purpose constructed two storey electrical plant space to house UPS equipment including large battery sets, LV & HV switch panels and intake transformer equipment. The second location will be the refurbishment of an existing plant space in the basement of one of the Hospital buildings and will house UPS equipment, including large battery sets and LV switch panels. The scheme design is at a mature stage for tender purposes, however the contract will be procured on a JCT D&B contract basis. Key project information is as follows:- Description of the Works: These works are intended to upgrade the emergency electrical infrastructure. The UPS (N+1) project consists of creating two new centralised UPS systems to increase capacity and provide N+1 resilience. The upgrading will provide continuity of supply and further improved resilience to serve the Hospitals operating theatre suites and intensive care facilities. The scheme will also replace a section of main LV supply cabling and provide a new HV substation to increase capacity and further improve supply resilience. The scheme design will incorporate provision within the LV switch panel to improve future standby generator capacity as part of a further upgrading scheme in 2018/19.
