 Steam Generator at the Children's Hospital and Health Center. As the prime consultant, Syska Hennessy’s
Energy Services Group provided central utility master planning
services to optimize central plant equipment and utility distribution
upgrades to support the next 20 years of campus growth.
As part of the master plan, we prepared a detailed Cogeneration
Feasibility Study analyzing different technologies and configurations.
This led to the recommendation and design of a 3.5 MWe combustion
turbine coupled with a high temperature hot water (HTHW) heat recovery
boiler to provide for space heating, domestic hot water, and medium
pressure steam (through steam generator). Design included two new
660-ton double affect absorption chillers that will use waste heat
from the cogeneration process, and a new bank of cooling towers
to serve the new absorption chiller load.

turbines at the Children's Hospital and Health Center. Syska managed a team of engineers, architects, and acoustical
specialists for this $13.5 million project. Because of funding
requirements and utility service requirements of on-going construction
projects, the cogeneration plan has to be operational by the end
of 2004. In six months, we submitted plans to OSHPD for approval
and received permits for construction in January 2004. Syska led
the design team through design, OSHPD and CEQA approvals.
The 24/7 operation of the hospital required a detailed construction
phasing plan to minimize interruptions, which Syska prepared. Currently,
our Construction Services Group is providing construction adminstration
services to the owner.
