The major maintenance upgrade and abatement of the Central Heating Plant (CHP) which will improve the plant operations, safety, and performance is complete.
Over the next few weeks, the central heating plant will be re-energized and all buildings will be transferred back to the NYU high temperature hot water (HTHW) system.
Please note that this Saturday, June 20, 2009 starting at 4PM (until 8AM) a 16 hour outage of the re-heat and domestic hot water systems will be required for the buildings listed below.
- Silver Block (Silver, Waverly, and Brown) 10# steam will remain unaffected
- Goddard Hall
- Education Building
- Rufus Smith
- Kimball Hall (including Torch Club)
At the completion of this outage, these buildings along with Weinstein and 19 University Place will be transferred back to the NYU CHP. The transfer does not require an outage for these two buildings.
The 10# steam boiler serving the Silver Building will be scheduled for removal on Friday, June 26, 2009.
The temporary boilers will remain connected (but off) for an additional week to provide back-up capability if required during the start-up process. Central Plant engineers will be on site during the energizing of the building's hot water systems to immediately respond to any issues. Central Plant engineers will be on-call 24/7 to provide service if needed.
