Columbia Engineering group performed the electrical engineering services for the facility including power distribution design with (2) power services & (2) generator systems for redundancy, lighting design, fire alarm with mass notification system, data infrastructure and communications, and future provisions for intrusion detection and access control systems. This was an older facility that required on-site documentation of how things were built and required a phased approach as the Owner occupied the facility during construction.
