Power Plant Replacement

Property overview

This project encompassed the erection of a novel 425-square-metre hybrid power plant, concurrent with the decommissioning of a pre-existing power plant catering to all hospital functions at LGH. The new power plant seamlessly accommodates the comprehensive array of current hospital operations. Remarkably, the underground power plant was meticulously developed and operational before the phased demolition of the preceding facility.

Infrastructure Enhancement at LGH: Construction of a Hybrid Power Plant

The project’s scope extended to requisite modifications in multiple hospital spaces to harmonize with the new power plant. This intricate process mandated rigorous coordination with stakeholders, accompanied by stringent infection control protocols to ensure asepsis. Within the 425 sqm facility, new steam and hot water boilers were installed, complemented by state-of-the-art medical gas systems. The venture necessitated extensive civil and utility undertakings, entailing the strategic relocation of the gas main and fiber optic cables.

Elimination and secure closure of storm and sanitary lines, and the meticulous removal of the existing water service. Moreover, drilling and installation of new services were executed to exacting standards. Notably, the newly established subterranean power plant is horizontally integrated with the existing Hope Centre, thereby seamlessly augmenting the hospital’s power infrastructure.
