Women’s Community Correctional Center Expansion

DESCRIPTION: The design team is working with the Hawaii Department of Public Safety (PSD) and Department of Accounting and General Services on the planning and design of the Women’s Community Correctional Center (WCCC) Expansion project in Kailua on the Island of Oahu.

Providence Holy Family Hospital Critical Switchboard Replacement

DESCRIPTION: PCI had recently completed a master planning project to prioritize replacement of normal and emergency power infrastructure at the hospital.

This project was an emergency project that resulted from the failure of a critical automatic transfer switch (ATS) serving the entire hospital including the acute care portion, of which, this was one of the items identified in the study.

The existing 1960’s era critical switchboard and ATS were close to failure and needed to be replaced as this equipment served the acute care hospital. Additionally, the hospital was cited for non-compliance as numerous normal power loads were intermixed with the critical branch. PCI designed new Normal, Critical, Equipment, and Optional Standby switchboards, associated automatic transfer switches, and redesigned the existing generator switchboard for code compliance.
