New Boiler Plant, Hill AFB, UT

Project: Design-Build Repair of Boilers in Building 260
Owner: US Army Corps of Engineers
Location: Hill Air Force Base, UT
Project Type: New Boiler Plant
Role: Other Than Small Business Mentor; Joint Venture (SGJV, LLC)

Greenland and SAW Contracting comprise the Joint Venture Prime Contractor responsible for the Design-Build renovation of Building (B) 260 at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. B260 is a 12,000 SF single story (with mezzanine) steam plant building originally built in 1941 with additions in 1964, 1980, 1988, and 1989.

The project includes the replacement of eight existing boilers in B260 with five new dual-fuel (natural gas/fuel oil) ultra-low NOx 50 MMBH boilers. The steam boiler system will include all ancillary equipment necessary for operation (e.g., deaerator skid, surge skid, etc.). Additionally, the project will construct a complete 168K PPH temporary steam plant to ensure uninterrupted steam distribution to the base during the course of the renovation.

The existing boiler fuel oil underground storage tanks (USTs) will be removed and replaced with aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), which are sized for seven days of storage during peak heating season. The existing building will have seismic retrofitting and supporting equipment (deaerator, pumps, etc.) upgraded. The undersized emergency generator will be replaced to accommodate the electrical load of the new plant.
