Greenland Enterprises has been selected as the Prime Contractor to perform district energy retrofit work at the Energy Center at the Dallas VA Medical Center.
The $9.2M contract includes a new 1,500-ton chiller, removal of four existing field-erected cooling towers, and installing six new pre-packaged stainless-steel cooling towers, new pumps, and related structural improvements. Work includes all demolition, concrete, masonry, steel, MEP, earthwork, and exterior improvements for the Central Utility Plant upgrade.
Greenland recently reached a milestone in a Florida boiler plant project: assembling, rigging and erecting a packaged over/under deaerator and condensate storage tank system. The solution is unique in that it is a dual-level prefabricated package that was built and tested off-site in modules and can be assembled on-site. Read More

Like a phone’s dial tone, uninterrupted power is often taken for granted until the power goes out and you need it. While power outages are a disruption for many businesses and organizations, for medical centers and clinics power loss can be life-threatening. As facilities age, the industry as a whole is seeing more demands for uninterrupted power in central plant specs. Read More
The University of Minnesota is a great example of a campus converting to newer technology and realizing big savings from converting to a new main energy plant. An article on the Big Ten Network website highlights the upgraded system and the people who make it work. Read More
Designing and building central plants for hospitals is no longer limited to efficient systems with redundancy for critical components. The lessons learned in Texas and Florida after major hurricanes are leading to changes in design and construction approaches for medical systems and similar environments.
According to the 2018 Hospital Construction Survey, conducted by The American Society for Healthcare Engineering, 89 percent of facilities professionals consider “resiliency” when designing and building new spaces. Resiliency in construction means structures and components that resist both natural and human caused disasters, and allow for fast recovery after events. Read More
A new generator system is now in place and operational at the Lebanon, PA Veterans Administration Medical Center. Greenland Enterprises recently wrapped up the $2.5M project, which involved demolishing and removing structures, installing natural gas powered generators and upgrades to the center’s electrical infrastructure.
The new generator serves the MRI/Radiology lab facilities and required careful planning and coordination to ensure the least possible impact to the medical center during construction. “Anytime you are dealing with mission-critical systems in a hospital there is a high level of focus on planning and project management,” said Greenland Enterprises President Elton Roller. “Our approach ensures we consider virtually every possible contingency, and have backup plans for our backup plans!”
The project is one of several Greenland efforts in Pennsylvania and the northeast US as Greenland’s national reputation grows.
HAMPTON, VA – The University of Virginia selected Greenland Enterprises to provide Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) services associated with a major upgrade to the main heating plant for the University’s flagship campus in Charlottesville, Virginia. Read More
