The main objective of this project was to replace two (2) 40-year-old emergency power generators located in Tower A and Tower B. This replacement coincided with the upgrade of both the emergency power distribution systems and associated diesel fuel systems in both buildings. 

Our Approach

McGregor Allsop was responsible for developing the system schematics, equipment layouts, and performance requirements for the new 1000kW emergency generators to ensure code compliance. Outdoor Gensets were selected to minimize the disruption to building operations as fewer power shutdowns were required.

Assembly of the new units was completed while the existing system was still operating which simplified logistics and again minimized disruptions. 

Our Results

McGregor Allsop successfully completed the Design, Tendering, Project Administration, and Commissioning to replace the two existing Diesel Generators with two (2) new 1000kW Diesel  Generators for these high-rise Office Buildings.
