Northwell Health Staten Island University Hospital Building

Northwell Health, Staten Island University Hospital

EW Howell Construction Group has been at the forefront of several Staten Island University Hospital projects for Northwell Health including:

Power Plant/Overbuild

The new Power Plant building is to be constructed on the area adjacent to the existing loading dock/receiving area of the hospital. It will contain two new emergency electrical generators, associated switch gear and transmission lines, three new boilers for heat and hot water, associated steam piping for transmission, and water treatment equipment for the boiler plant. There will also be three new chillers and a cooling tower to produce chilled water for the hospital’s HVAC systems.

The two-story overbuild addition (Core and Shell) will be stationed above the power plant and loading dock of the facility.

The Labor and Delivery Modernization portion of work will include a new entry lobby and stair tower that will tie back into the existing hospital and be tailored to Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, and new expanded NICU.

Scope: Addition, Renovation | Size: 90,000 SF

EM Feeder

The EM Feeder project features the replacement of the emergency power supply to vital buildings of the hospital; the emergency department/educational center and the Heart Tower. This project requires the installation of approximately 20 miles mineral insulated (MI) copper conductors across the campus, over new steel utility bridges, and across the campus’ roof to reach the equipment to be served by the generators.

Normal Power & Temp Feeds

This project is an upgrade of the three main electrical services feeding the main building. It is being completed by strengthening the existing concrete deck, construction of new normal and emergency electrical spaces with temperature control, and installation of new primary, secondary, and emergency distribution switchboards.

Scope: Renovation

Hazard Mitigation

The Hazard Mitigation infrastructure upgrade provides redundancy to the hospital’s critical infrastructure to include a new generator, a new electric chiller, chilled water circulation and condenser pumps, new automatic transfer switches, new emergency distribution switchboards, and a new high efficiency boiler.  The project is nearing completion, with successful integration and commissioning of the emergency electrical systems as well as the chilled water systems.  The boiler has recently successfully completed the high fire output testing for DEP approvals and we are in the final phases to formal turnover of the boiler for permanent operation.

Scope: Renovation | Size: 7,500 SF
