Bogard Construction was selected to provide client project management services for the Cogen Plant Replacement Project. The $25,000,000 project provides a new 4,900 SF multi-story building housing a single combustion turbine and associated heat recovery unit for the production of electric power and hot water. Electric power is produced by the turbine and fed into the existing campus 12,000 volt distribution system. Hot water is produced by the turbine's heat exchanger and fed into the existing central hot water system. The building has been designed in accordance with LEED Silver rating requirements and also houses hot water distribution pumps, electrical equipment, lube oil cooler, emissions monitoring equipment, selective catalytic reduction equipment, piping control systems and other accessories. Also included in the building is a control room, toilet facilities and a maintenance shop.
Due to space limitations within the building, a natural gas booster compressor skid, a black-start generator and an isolation transformer has been installed adjacent to the building. The project is constructed with consideration to limit the impact on existing plant operations and reuse as much of the existing systems as possible, while minimizing the overall impact and footprint on the site. The existing cogeneration facility was kept operational during most of the construction of the replacement plant.
