Jamaica Hospital Medical CenterJamaica Generator Feasibility Study

DM Engineers successfully completed the selection and design of the electrical and fire alarm systems for a state-of-the-art 2500kW diesel emergency generator in March 2024. This generator was specifically developed to provide critical backup power for the ASC 2 South project and the newly completed ED Expansion building, ensuring uninterrupted operation during emergencies.

The generator is housed within a custom-designed outdoor enclosure built to mitigate sound and withstand harsh weather conditions. This enclosure includes advanced features such as automatic transfer switches, emergency distribution panels, and an innovative fuel pump system, ensuring seamless and efficient operation.

As part of the project, a specialized underground fuel tank with a capacity of 20,000 gallons was meticulously designed and installed. This tank serves as a vital component of the system, offering long-term, reliable fuel storage to support the generator’s functionality and guarantee power availability when it is needed most.
