AEC was retained to recommend improvements to repair a Steam Plant at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. This project was required to replace an inefficient boiler and to rehabilitate the aging mechanical and electrical support systems. The rehabilitation of the Steam Plant primarily consisted of replacing two boilers with a new a new high efficiency steam generator. A new boiler combustion system was also installed. In conjunction with the removal of the two boilers, the associated low voltage electrical panels and feeders were removed and replaced. Also necessary for a new boiler installation was the removal of a portion of the face of Building 12. Prior to any construction work, hazardous material identification and remediation was needed. Many other plant improvements were included in this project. All new equipment and systems were selected and designed to meet current applicable codes and standards, and to meet NASA’s twenty-five- year design life for all other systems that were used for this project. The estimated construction cost for the proposed steam plant improvements was $4.9M
