The Commissioning Report: Issue 2

Boeing's 787 expansion, a federal chiller plant, and 600 MW of renewables

Boeing 787 Dreamliner Expansion Project

Boeing's multi-building expansion across a 240-acre complex in North Charleston was the largest single capital investment in South Carolina history at the time. TMG served as M/E/P and building automation consulting engineer and as Joint Venture consultant for the building automation systems. For the Aft Body Building, we designed the BACnet DDC controls integration for the expansion of a 16,000-ton chilled water plant, including P&IDs, sequences of operation, and integrated commissioning test scripts.

 

GSA Central Heating Plant

The GSA Central Heating Plant at 325 13th Street SW in Washington, D.C. serves most of the federal buildings around the National Mall. TMG performed Demonstration of Performance testing on its 16,000-ton Central Utility Chilled Water Plant, verifying plant performance and the accuracy of its instrumentation and meters.

 

Cedar Springs Wind Farm

Cedar Springs is a NextEra Energy onshore wind plant expected to reach nearly 400 MW once its fourth development phase is complete. TMG programmed and commissioned the Power Plant Controller, which coordinates turbine output to meet grid operator requirements at the point of interconnection.

 

Solar Project: About 2,000 Acres, 200 MW

This PV array covers roughly 2,000 acres and can generate up to 200 MW. TMG designed and built the SCADA and telecom infrastructure IT/OT network that carries plant data and control commands across the site.
