Relevant Experience – Key Sample Projects

GEI has highlighted several relevant projects that demonstrate our competence and professional qualifications to help ensure satisfactory performance. The following projects demonstrate GEI’s extensive professional experience for central plant and site infrastructure projects for colleges and universities.

Loma Linda University Thermal Energy Storage (TES) Design

GEI is the prime consultant and mechanicalengineer-of-record for this project that includes the design of a 40,000 ton-hour partial storage TES tank to serve the entire campus, including the hospital, and to account for future campus expansions. The project also includes the planning for a new

$40 million central plant. The contract price for the construction of the TES tank is $4.2 million.



Loma Linda University Central Plant Chiller Replacement and Pump

Retrofit Design

GEI is acting as the prime mechanical consultant for this $7 million construction project that involves the retrofit of the existing absorption and the centrifugal chiller plants. The project also converted the pumping arrangement from variable-primary to primary-secondary with the addition of four new primary chilled water pumps and two secondary chilled water pumps.

Fullerton College CHW Distribution System

GEI was the mechanical engineer of record for ACCO Engineered Systems, the prime contractor for this $10 million campus wide project that installed a chilled water distribution system, upgraded three existing chiller plants, and added a 1,200-ton chilled water central plant. GEI was responsible for the mechanical and plumbing design for the new central plant as well as the chiller plants.

The central plant includes:



Two 600-ton chillers



Three 400-ton cooling towers, and



Ancillary equipment.

The new Building 2100 chiller plant includes:



One 250-ton chiller,



One 250-ton cooling tower,



Two 1,250 MBH boilers, and




The upgraded chiller plants added the following equipment to the distributed chilled water system:



One 300-ton chiller



Two 200-ton chillers



One 300-ton cooling tower



One 350-ton cooling tower, and






UCI Step 3 Central Plant Expansion

GEI acted as the owner’s construction manager for this $8 million central plant expansion including $2 million for the

TES tank. The project installed a new

4.5-million-gallon stratified chilled water thermal energy storage tank. The new centrifugal chillers and a new 4,000-ton concrete architectural type cooling tower was installed in Step 4 discussed above.

GEI’s responsibilities included negotiating and approving change orders, interpreting contract documents, holding construction meetings, and preparing submittal, request for information (RFI), and change proposal (CP) logs.

Princeton University, Central Plant Expansion and TES Facility

GEI was the TES specialist for this project providing conceptual design and technical review. GEI also provided assistance in the planning and designing of the TES system with a capacity of 40,000 ton-hr, 1.5 million gallons at

20 ºF delta-T. The TES system was planned and designed for four phases shown below:

 Existing: 41ºF CWS/53ºF CWR (12ºF delta-T)

 Phase I: 38ºF CWS/54ºF CWR (16ºF delta-T)

 Phase II: 38ºF CWS/56ºF CWR (18ºF delta-T)

 Phase III: 38ºF CWS/58ºF CWR (20ºF delta-T)

This $10 million TES project also involved a new two-story 8,400 square-foot satellite with two new 1,600-ton electric centrifugal chillers, seven distribution pumps, and three heat exchangers. The TES design effort was based on a TES study by GEI.



Los Angeles Harbor College Infrastructure Design.

Goss Engineering was the mechanical engineer of record for this infrastructure design project that provided chilled water, heating hot water, and natural gas utility piping for the entire campus. The project required GEI to walk the entire campus existing tunnel system to document the existing tunnel conditions and dimensions to determine the feasibility of installing new piping. GEI cooperated with other consultants to provide a successful and complete utility project.

Los Angeles Pierce College Infrastructure Design.

Goss Engineering was the mechanical engineer of record this infrastructure design project that provided chilled water, heating hot water, and natural gas utility piping for the entire campus.

The project required extensive and many field investigations to locate the existing distribution piping. The existing distribution piping was located underground, building ceiling spaces, and pipe chases. GEI cooperated with other consultants to provide a successful and complete utility project.

GEI Sample Projects

In addition to the projects discussed above, GEI also works on numerous other projects for our clients. The outline below provides some of GEI’s key sample projects:
