Major Projects

As Electrical Trade Manager of this $120,000,000 new construction and renovation project, the E-J team started involvement when drawings were 60% complete. They worked toward a GMP with engineers, architects, and construction managers, developing cost savings of 2.5 million dollars to bring the project under budget for the financially burdened hospital center.

Continuing responsibilities included letting all contracts and monitoring the fulfillment of minority goals for tradesmen, suppliers, and contractors. In the process E-J maintained the quality of the end product. From design through construction, E-J offered value engineering based on our extensive installation experience.

New construction and modernization of entire hospital (6 floors). This 3-year, 9 million dollar contract consisted of a new emergency room, brought on line in phase one to keep hospital operative, a new addition of an 85,600 square foot facility and the renovation/modernization of an existing structure made up of 154,000 square feet. The project included an extensive Fire Alarm System, a Nurse Call System, a Medical Gas Alarm System, a Pre-action System, a UPS System, a 1250kW Emergency Generator, Low Voltage System and Specialty Radiology Systems along with lighting and power systems.

The new 238,800 square foot Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center took the place of an existing structure. This state of the art research building provides the technology and space to advance cancer research.

The Bottle Glass wash system is one of the specialty equipment systems we will receive, assemble and wire along with many X-ray machines and the bedding system. We also furnished and installed all Security conduit on the floors and the telecommunications main conduit system that interconnects Phase I & Phase II with the MDF Room.

Cogeneration plant consisting of a 4.5MW 5kV solar gas turbine generator waste heat boiler. Installation included (1) 5MW and (2) 2MW generators, cooling tower, and two chillers. The project included 5kV paralleling switchgear and associated unit substations and MCC’s.

Project included service feeder bus, fire pump, power, lighting and fire alarm for new forensics DNA Lab at Bellevue hospital in the Basement, 8th floor, 9th floor and Roof.

As a Prime Contractor on this project, our scope included all electrical and general construction work required to furnish and install two new 1500kW generators, complete with Zenith automatic synchronization switchgear, ten automatic transfer switches and a new 20,000-gallon fuel oil tank. This equipment was installed in a fully functional hospital and research facility without disruption of day to day operations. The power distribution from the generator consists of the installation of over 15,000 feet of 3 ½” conduit and 50,000 feet of cable from the third sub-basement generator room to the main service room on the 9th floor and a conduit system up to the 27th floor.

Due to space restrictions, the generators and 3,000 ampere transfer switch had to be disassembled and reassembled. The vertical risers required the use of a bosum’s chair for access into the available riser space. The project was completed in approximately 10 months from start to finish.

This renovation of seven buildings that made up the South Block, included the installation of systems such as fire alarm, nurse call, paging, A/V and a high tech Conference Center. There were also emergency and normal power upgrades and the complete re-design of power and the fire alarm system to utilize existing services and minimize hospital disruptions. The emergency room was fully renovated in phases to maintain the area's Critical Trauma Center.

Multiple medical laboratory installations including sensitive ground fault power, coldroom controls, darkroom and surgery lighting, and fire, security, and computer networking systems. Installation of outdoor substation including 1000kVA transformer to provide emergency backup for critical loads.

Completed entire new C.V. Starr Pavilion, incorporating electrical requirements for latest medical systems. The Hospital is served through an emergency power system that integrates a new 550V, 900kW, diesel generator with three identical existing diesel generators, to become part of an automatic paralleling scheme. The paralleling of four on-site generators provides high reliability and continuity of service.

Gillman Hall chiller replacement, service replacement including interface with Con-Edison, power for new roof chillers and multiple projects over the last 25 years.

Conversion of existing 5,000 sq. foot wing to a new 32 bed Cardiology and Telemetry special care wing.  Work included furnishing and installing new architectural lighting systems, new power distribution, new nurse call, code blue and elapsed timer/clock systems.  E-J worked closely with the General Contractor and design team to meet the stringent requirements of the owner for this high profile project.
