Work is going on at an power plant that is expected to run at the end of this year or early 2025. A ground braking ceremony was held last week.
The project will change the existing system that has done well beyond its ‘scheduled lifetime’ and will increase efficiency and credibility. FMC Chief Operations Officer Aaron Yanujo said that with the old system, hospital areas did not continuously heat or cooled, causing issues with patients and staff comfort.
Yanujo said, “The technique of 1930 is running for a better part of 80 years in this hospital and that entire campus.” “Being in this building for the last four years has been one of our biggest struggles.”
With the new power plant, heating and cooling units in all existing-briefs will be removed and replaced with a thermostat. Patients would have added the ability to relax and control each room individually.
“It will be similar to a residential look and will feel where the thermostats are in every room;
The current 1930s boiler system takes most of the basement in the building. According to Yanujo, the new system can work on many fuels and will be an upgradation in terms of efficiency, reliability and maintenance.
“We will have backup systems and fruitless systems;” It will actually help us integrate some people and also release. “
The new plant will be constructed in the north of the hospital and from the Fairmont State University in the lower parking lot across the road. The placement makes components more accessible during maintenance operations. The original budget for the system was within the range of $ 20 million, but epidemic, inflation and current economic conditions have greatly increased the budget budget.
“I think we’re targeting around $ 30 million right now, but it could be as much as $ 35 million,” Yanujo said.
The new system is part of the modernization effort for the building and will have several values enhanced aspects, but upgrading the system is the right task for patients.
“Will we see savings in power and consumption?
