Jamaica Hospital Medical CenterJamaica FO Tank Replacement
Project description
DM Engineers PLLC was tasked with delivering comprehensive MEP design and coordination services for a significant upgrade to Jamaica Hospital’s fuel oil system, which included replacement of critical infrastructure components and alignment with the hospital’s broader modernization initiatives. The project focused on the removal of outdated diesel and fuel oil storage tanks, fuel pumps, control panels, and filtration systems, which were replaced by a new, robust fuel oil system to ensure reliable service to the building’s boilers and emergency generator. DM Engineers PLLC designed and specified two new underground storage tanks: one for diesel fuel and one for fuel oil, to support the continuous operation of critical systems during emergency conditions.
This project also entailed the installation of new fuel piping within the building and an upgrade to the fuel oil controls, designed to optimize the system’s operational reliability and facilitate future expansion. The placement of the replacement tanks at the front of the main building was strategically planned and coordinated with simultaneous renovations to the hospital’s main entrance, underscoring DM Engineers’ ability to integrate complex MEP design within a multifaceted construction environment. Through close collaboration with EES and the installing contractor, DM Engineers ensured that the sizing, specifications, and installation methodologies for the new system components aligned with Jamaica Hospital’s modernization goals, particularly those of its Emergency Department, enhancing both operational efficiency and compliance with current standards.
