World Trade Center Complex
Standby Power Generating Plant
New York, NY

As prime consultant, LORING provided complete mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design as well as coordination of all subconsultants (architectural, structural, vibration, acoustics, and rigging) for the installation and commissioning of a standby generator power plant. The plant provided an ultimate capacity for 13.2 Megawatts, consisting of four  2,200 kW diesel engine generator sets with provisions for two additional 2,200 kW sets.  Fully automatic paralleling switchgear included all requirements for operation of the six sets.

The plant generated power for distribution at 13.8 kV, via cable in conduit risers to each of the four mechanical floors in both of the 110-story towers.  Substations at each mechanical floor location distributed power at  480/277 volts to serve tenant loads.  The project was performed for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
