As of August 8, 2023, The owner has selected a Construction Manager. North Carolina Department Of Administration Government Complex Chilled Water & Steam Modifications This project involves the replacement of the existing modular chiller plant serving the downtown
government complex and the renovation of the decommissioned Heating Equipment (HEQ)
Plant. The new chiller plant will be a traditional site-built facility designed to accommodate four
chillers, including two salvaged from the existing modular plant. All associated pumps and
electrical infrastructure will be housed inside the plant. The project will also feature new fielderected cooling towers with concrete basin and replacement of the exterior insulation and finish
system (EIFS) on the existing 2.75 million-gallon thermal energy storage tank. The new chiller
plant will be connected to the existing underground chilled water loop. The construction will
require extensive phasing and temporary utilities to minimize the outage duration of the chilled
water system. The new chiller plant will be located at 419 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC. The HEQ Plant
is located at 412 North McDowell Street, Raleigh, NC. The renovation of the HEQ Plant will involve abatement of
hazardous materials, removal of four steam boilers and
associated ancillary equipment, and the installation of a
single summer boiler to supplement and provide
redundancy to DOA's primary central steam plant during
the warmer months. The new plant will require new utilities
including a sewer line that will require a jack and bore
underneath N McDowell St. The HEQ Plant will also
undergo moderate architectural and aesthetic improvements
to enhance its appearance.
The Main Boiler Plant, adjacent to the HEQ Plant will
require new feedwater pumps and piping for their four
water tube boilers.
The selected Designer for this project is RMF Engineering,
of Raleigh, NC.
