Year Completed: 2014

For this very complex project, APG constructed a brand new Central Energy Plant to service the St. Joseph's Hospitals 2.4 million square foot main campus in Tampa. Housing six generators, medium voltage switchgear, and a new SCADA system, careful planning and coordination was implemented to safely connect the new power distribution in each of the active buildings on campus, all while keeping the existing emergency power systems in place to maintain patient safety. These changeovers were executed seamlessly.

• Relocation of heliport
  

• More than 20 miles of concrete encased duct banks, five of which were installed within 15,000 square feet
