This was an infrastructure project to increase the steam pressure to the hospital from 100 PSI to 150 PSI.
New Atlantic’s scope of work included approximately 1,100 LF of steam and condensate replacement over 3 segments.
Due to below grade spacial constraints, an above ground temporary steam line was installed to maintain service to approximately 10 buildings along the path of the congested area of campus. Portions of the utility were typically installed below grade in steam tunnels and manholes; however,other portions were constructed in brick chases, bridges, and precast enclosures to fully conceal the utility and aesthetically blend the work with the highly visible area of campus.
The project also included mechanical upgrades to steam PRV stations in 22 mechanical rooms that were located within the limits of the project and “down stream” of the upgraded steam line for the new incoming higher steam pressure.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is served by a 30 megawatt cogeneration facility near the main campus.
The existing facility was in need of a new cooling tower to match expanding capabilities of the primary turbine generator. This unit is essential to campus operations and UNC Hospitals as it is the primary source of on-site power generation and also directly supports steam production to meet mission critical hospital and research functions.

Regional Utility Plant IV

“…I have worked with numerous contractors over my 29 years of practice. My experience with New Atlantic ranks with the best. Throughout the process they were organized, clear, and professional in their approach and delivery. The RUP (Regional Utility Plant IV) in many ways was the lynchpin serving the entire south village; without proper construction, coordination, and completion the south village development could have failed, but due to effective leadership by New Atlantic and others it was a success. It was effectively built to serve existing as well as multiple buildings in construction, all while a new road with underground utilities was being built. I highly recommend New Atlantic for your future Utility Plant. They rank with the best.”

New Atlantic constructed a hot water and chilled water utility plant for the new South Village portion of campus.
The building structure includes heavy cast-in-place concrete walls, structural steel, and load bearing CMU.
The skin system embodies campus standards with brick, precast, and ornamental metal features. The initial phase of the build out included 2-200 BHP hot water boilers, a 600 ton chiller, a 300 ton chiller, 2-600 ton cooling towers, and the balance of plant auxiliary equipment.

New Atlantic performed a 13,800 SF renovation to the existing steam plant.
Total of 300,000 pph steam generation including 2-100,000 pph new boilers, and a refurbished 100,000 pph boiler.
Work included demolition of 2-50,000 pph boilers, structural modifications, and a facade restoration.
Advanced project budgeting and forecasting was needed to assist in making critical early design decisions.
This project received a U.S.G.B.C. LEED Silver certification.
