PRIME CONTRACTS

E-J Electric was the prime contractor for the complete structural, mechanical and electrical installation for the thirteen acre site’s main power distribution including Con Edison utility vaults.

The installation required routing 27kV Con Edison feeders underground to (4) 2000kVA transformers feeding network protectors bussed directly to 480 Volt switchgear.

The distribution across the site is a 480 Volt system via ductbanks and manholes. The longest feeds utilized (2) 5kV unit substations in a step-up step-down configuration.

E-J Electric Installation Co., was the prime contractor for the installation of (3) 2000kW generators on the rooftop of the old Port Authority of New York & New Jersey Building. E-J subcontracted the mechanical and steel installations and integrated the new emergency power into the existing electrical distribution system.

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.
