Project Overview: This project is the final phase of establishing power redundancy for a set of network transformers and associated network protectors at the hospital in addition to the ramp garage, doctor’s office building and Hinshaw building.  In addition to the power redundancy, distribution equipment on the load side of the network protectors will be replaced.
 

Project Overview: St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center $220 million expansion is the largest project in the hospital’s 140 year history.  The expansion will include a new emergency services building, operating rooms, intensive care unit, private patient rooms, kitchen, a new data center and an emergency generator along with construction of a new loading dock building.

The expansion also will include a green roof, solar panels, site drainage and many other features that will make it environmentally friendly.  The new facility will be built to specifications necessary for qualifying for Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council in its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Program.

O'Connell's Role: In connection with this significant expansion project, O’Connell Electric will install two new unit sub-stations to provide power to the new expansion buildings and redundancy power to the existing hospital.  This project also includes installing interior and exterior lighting systems, day light harvesting lighting controls, branch wiring systems, cable tray systems, security systems, CCTV systems, life safety systems, clock and intercom systems, communications wiring (copper and fiber) & equipment and a complete lightning protection system.

Project Overview: As part of the utility’s preventive maintenance program O’Connell Electric is performing repair services, primary conductor, line equipment, and pole upgrades.

Project Overview: The nursing program at Monroe Community College outgrew the capabilities of its existing facility.  Other campus buildings were either outdated or inadequate for new teaching methods, optimum class section sizes, and current/future technologies.  A grant has been made to the college that will allow the Nursing program to expand into new state-of-the-art facilities.

O'Connell's Role: In connection with building an energy efficient and environmentally friendly building, O’Connell Electric will be installing a 46kW photo voltaic system on the roof.  The system will be tied directly to the MCC power distribution system and utilized within the campus producing in excess of 50,000kwH per year.
