#CONCRETE ENCASED DUCT BANK WITH MULTIPLE VOLTAGES GENERATOR#

Lowest cost duct spacer system available. This emergency system upgrade involved many runs of mineral insulated conductors installed through many different areas of the existing hospital, with no disruption to the day to day operations of the hospital business. For fast, easy, economical installation of underground duct banks.

This included running banks of 4” conduits up an new exterior steel structure, custom designed for our conduits and across an existing hospital roof.

For each duct bank that penetrates the vault or handhole: Install 50 ft of bare 250 kcmil wire in the bottom of that duct bank to form a concrete-encased electrode. Concrete Duct Bank Conduits Entering a Vault or Handhole.

The project involved many concrete encased duct banks through a challenging degree of obstacles in limited space connected the new generator outbuilding to the existing hospital structure. 6.3 Concrete Duct Bank Conduits Entering a Vault or Handhole Figure 6.3. Firmly anchor duct banks to structure walls or slabs. Provide maximum clearance of 1.5 inches from bars to edge of concrete encasement. The coordination effort with hospital facilities to set up and limit the power outages during tie-ins was a seamless effort. Install duct bank reinforcement as shown or indicated on the Drawings. Our field personnel value engineered a large conduit bank through a challenging crawl space with busway to save cost and save schedule time. There were existing high voltage duct banks that needed to be avoided by going under and around. Also included are direct buried ducts for secondary power cables, site lighting cables, and dedicated telecommunications circuits.

The main subject of the study is to investigate the structural. The structural integrity of ductbanks can be compromised by many major events, including seismic effects, liquefaction, and soil settlement. There were many unique obstacles that were overcome on this project. The guideline covers concrete encased duct banks and manholes for primary (medium voltage) power distribution cables and telecommunications cables. The main purpose of the concrete ductbanks is to provide protection for buried high-voltage cables from environmental and mechanical effects. This installation included many new automatic transfer switches and incorporation of many various makes/models of existing automatic transfer switches. Installation of emergency systems upgrades through the coordination and installation of (2) new 2 Megawatt generators feeding a new paralleling switchgear. It might require AHJ’s interpretation and approval. Architect: Shepley Bulfinch | Engineer: BR+A Project Features: The NEC does not specify what approved manner is for the conductor protection.
