Construction of Chilled Water Plant and Site Utility Upgrades at VA Medical Center in West Haven, CT
The project involves demolishing the existing chilled water plant (Building 16a) and constructing a new multi-story chilled water plant with chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and associated mechanical/electrical equipment. Because it is near an existing fuel tank farm, a new fuel tank farm will also be built, primarily serving the central boiler plant and requiring coordination with the medical center and related projects. Site utility upgrades include replacing/upgrading fire protection and domestic water mains from Campbell Avenue to Building 15, installing chilled water, steam, condensate, domestic water, and fire protection loops from the new plant back to Building 1, adding a redundant electrical feeder to Building 19 with utility coordination, and constructing new water storage tanks. The work spans civil/site, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, geotechnical, and architectural disciplines and must comply with DVA Physical Security Resiliency Design Requirements and target USGBC LEED Silver certification. Performance is adjacent to and within an active Medical Center campus (VAMC) that will remain operational, requiring minimal operational impact and careful coordination due to constrained laydown and storage areas.
