CEG was the lead mechanical and electrical design consultant for the major expansion of the existing Ontario MTSO. This project will increase the existing 20,000 square floor space by approximately 12,000 square feet and will replace all of the major electrical and mechanical systems. Design was completed in 2006 in compliance with the Design Review Process and Standards, including the rigorous RFP Process, of the client, a major telecommunications carrier. Temporary provisions were included in the design to allow existing systems to remain operational during construction. A summary of main design elements include:
- Upgrade existing utility system and main service entrance
- Installation of three (3) 1500kW generators in sound attenuated weather proof enclosures
- Installation of three (3) diverse electrical distribution systems to power critical equipment
- Grounding, security, lighting and general power systems
- Installation of three (3) air cooled chillers
- Installation of new central air handling systems and duct work systems
- New controls systems to integrate all equipment
