Tenant Improvements 70,000 SF

AlfaTech provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and lighting design engineering services for this tenant improvement project of a 70,000 SF, single-story facility for this deep decarbonization company pioneering low-cost, high-efficiency, fossil-free hydrogen systems. The interior improvement scope includes areas designated as Machine shop, PTL Sinter shop, Sputter tool, Ink CCM Casting, and Sub Stack assembly. Scope includes 20 Mega Watt of power distribution at 21kV and distributing to 480volt / 810volt rectifiers that feed electrolysis equipment in the development of hydrogen. The team also added an additional service entrance at 12KV with exterior medium voltage gear to add 6 Mega Watt of additional power distribution to support ancillary loads and systems within the facility. A mix of complex power distribution was designed including MV cast transformers, MV gear, bus duct, complex below grade duct bank and custom switchgear to support the high-power needs for the Pilot Plant. Mechanical air-cooled chillers were added to provide chilled water cooling for all rectifiers for both Pilot Plant and indoor rectifier / electrolysis testing and research. An additional the Pilot Plant was designed with an array of process piping for multiple system to support the Hydrogen equipment skids.
