In order to achieve the primary objective, Martin Electric participated in the construction of a new substation with redundant sources as well as a generator capacity to match the backup power demands of the facility. Additionally, Martin Electric was tasked with the base build project including providing; grounding; interior and exterior lighting; lighting controls; power and distribution (transformers, switchgear, ATS, panelboards, controls); emergency power (generator, UPS); lightning protection; and fire alarm.
After considering an initial design to run our feeders underground from the high yard to this facility, Martin Electric value engineered a pathway redesign to bring the conduit from the transformer up the side of the exterior of the building and cored into the building from one location. This redesign resulted in dollars saved, increase in availability of square footage, as well as significantly less risk to the process area where the pipe would have run through.
While the customer only required 80% of the available power at the high yard, Martin Electric hedged on the likeliness of the campus needling the remaining 20% of available power at the yard for future growth and decided to install the infrastructure needed to capture 100% of the available power. Without having an understanding of the client and steppingback to look at the big picture, the client would have spent a significant amount of money in tearing up the ground to install additional conduit runs when they reached their 80% maximum capacity.
For over 30 years, Martin Electric has been providing quality workmanship to this Pharmaceutical Manufacturer in support of their exceptional growth requirements.
