Electrical design, materials supply, and installation for a seven level parking building, with two underground levels and drive-in, located at Winston Churchill Avenue.
This project involved the following stages:
- Movement of the general transformation substation, transfer and load distribution of the bank and the tower from the original electrical room in the basement of the tower to a provisional electrical room installed in a container in the front area outside of the tower, while keeping normal operation full-time of all power facilities of the tower and the bank during the transfer process
- Dismantling of electrical and mechanical installations of the original electrical and generator rooms in the tower, to allow excavation for the basement of the new building
- General electrical installations for new construction of parking and drive-through bank, including the relocation to the new electrical room of the integrated substation and emergency generator system with diesel engines, and the load reconnection of the tower
