Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, announced that it has been selected by East Carolina University’s (ECU) Facilities Engineering and Architecture Services department to provide engineering services for the project known as the chilled water extension to Whichard and Graham, on its main campus in Greenville, North Carolina.
The firm will provide improvements to the chilled water
infrastructure system on main campus. The cooling capacity of Central Cooling
Plant #1 (CCP#1), located in the Science and Technology Building, will be
increased by adding a 1,500-ton water cooled chiller, associated cooling tower,
pumps, and hydronic specialties in available shell space. Direct buried chilled
water (CHW) piping will be extended from CCP#1 to the Whichard and Graham
buildings. Direct buried CHW piping will also be installed to complete the main
campus chilled water distribution loop. New electrical switchgear will be
provided to serve new equipment and replace obsolete electrical switchgear.
“Our team is thrilled to support ECU’s investment in
improving their campus chilled water infrastructure to create a more efficient
and resilient system,” says Dewberry Project Manager Jeff Cline, LEED AP BD+C.
“Maintaining campus life is one of our primary goals and will be critical to
the success of this project.”
