BUILDING SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PORTFOLIO - COMMERCIAL

Lackawanna Public Library System

PROJECT: Labor & Industry Office Building
LOCATION: Wilkes-Barre, PA
COMPLETION DATE: December, 2005
SERVICES: Building Systems Engineering

SYNOPSIS:

Construction was completed on a new 62,000 square foot three story facility. The facility houses the Department of Labor and Industry and the Pennsylvania Department of Lottery. The electrical scope of work included design of power, lighting, fire alarm, public address and security/access control design for each tenant. L&I’s lease agreement required emergency power backup for approximately 60% of their load so that they could remain functional during power outages. A 500 KW diesel generator was provided for this purpose as well as life safety needs.

In addition to building electrical systems, ARRIS designed the information technology and voice distribution throughout the facility. This included Cat 6E cabling for both systems which were taken from user locations and terminated on rack mounted patch panels located in closets on each floor.

PROJECT: Luzerne National Bank Building
LOCATION: Wilkes-Barre, PA
COMPLETION DATE: 2002
SERVICES: Building Systems Engineering

OVERVIEW: Upgrade and replacement of the existing steam plant and a majority of steam and condensate distribution piping
