Abington Memorial Hospital Expansion Project

Furnished all labor, equipment, and materials required to upgrade and relocate hospitals dual electric service. The work consisted of installing two new underground 33,000-volt electric service, a new outdoor metal clad dual 35kv electric switch station, 3x 5000KVA transformers, 2x 7500 KVA transformers and a new outdoor dual 5kv outdoor stitch station.

Once the new electrical services were completely tested and operational the new 5kv feeders were extended to three existing 5kv double-ended substations currently serving various hospital loads. The existing loads were re-routed and connected into the new service equipment. The existing 33,000-volt main substation and associated equipment installation and associated 5kv cabling too interface the new electrical service equipment for the existing hospital loads.


Doylestown Hospital

Furnished all labor, equipment, and materials required to install new dual 33,000-volt electric service and distribution system for the hospital complex. Work consisted of bringing in two new 33kv utility services, two 35kv fused service switches, utility metering equipment at 33,000 volts. The two transformers were then connected onto an outdoor 4160-volt switchgear line with two main circuit breakers, a tie, two feeders breakers and space for future breakers for future co-generation equipment. This new service equipment was then tied into the existing hospital 4160-volt service equipment via a new duct bank and cabling system

The old utility dual 4160-volt electric service was then removed once the new service equipment was tested and tied. We preformed all our own civil work for pads and also all excavation for the equipment pads and duct banks.


US Airways International Terminal One


Carr & Duff, Inc. was awarded and is currently in the process of completing the Special Systems Scope of Work at the new International Terminal A West (One) at the Philadelphia International Airport. The Special Systems contract work includes the installation of a new Universal Cable Distribution System, a system comprised of both fiber optic and copper telecommunications and data cabling, which is the infrastructure for all communications, data and signal for the new terminal. This work includes the installation of Category 6 data and telecommunications station at approximately 2.800 locations throughout the facility supporting both the Department of Aviation and US Airways telecommunications, data, and ticketing and information systems. In addition, we have installed a new security card access system at some 387 door locations throughout the terminal, 372 security cameras, 166 Multi-User Flight Information Systems display system, a Master Clock system and 33 plasma screen visual display units.

The system being installed represent the "state of the art" in communications, data, security, and video systems all integrated by Carr & Duff, Inc. to function both stand alone and conjunction with the existing system at the airport, the special systems installation requires complete and seamless integration with the existing systems, which are being upgraded through the installation of new hardware and by the installation of updated software developed under this contract.

The system work being complete represents a contract in excess of thirty-three million dollars and has been completed on a fast track basis in accordance with the constraints of the project work schedule.

US Airways Line Maintenance Hager Facility


The project consisted of the electrical, telecommunications, and systems installation work associated with supporting a 100,000 square foot aircraft maintenance facility. The installation work included over 120 high bay 400-watt light fixtures installed at the roof support steel elevation of 107 feet above the ground. Services included a dual 15 KV feeder system with automatic emergency cutover, a 1250 KW emergency generator unit, installation of specialized fire suppression system designed specifically to detect aircraft fuel fires via infra red and linear heat detection systems, as well as the control and power wiring associated with 7 - 100 horsepower fire-pumps supporting the hangar sprinkler system used to fully engulf and suppress any hangar fire. Special coordination and integration of the fire alarm and fire suppression system was critical to the successful completion and testing of the facility to maintain compliance with FAA Guidelines.

The hangar can accommodate 2 - Boeing 757 aircraft or one A330 Airbus and 2 smaller aircraft at any given time. The hangar is utilized for general aircraft maintenance including engine replacement, brake or landing gear installation and or maintenance as well as tail rudder maintenance and replacement.


Central Reception and Assignment Facility (CRAF) Maximum Security Prison System Transfer Facility Located on the grounds of Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, Ewing New Jersey

Carr & Duff, Inc. was awarded a contract to complete the installation of a new perimeter security lighting system at the above facility including the installation and integration of the lighting system to the prison security system to provide emergency lighting of the building perimeter due to either an interior or exterior perimeter violation. The facility is a maximum-security transfer facility requiring full coordination with the prison management and security controls. The new and existing security systems,, new power distribution and lighting control systems as well as updating the existing power distribution system to accommodate the added systems. The work was considered critical in nature and was required to be completed with no disruption to the facility operation during the installation period.

The second portion of the project work included the replacement of the existing electrical service with a new dual feed 15KV distribution and automatic switching system as well as the installation of 2 new emergency generator units removed from another facility and placed into service at the CRAF facility. The installation had to be completed with no disruption to the prison power system requiring special coordination for the activation of the new services and the transitioned removal of the existing services.
