Cedars Sinai Plans Central Plant Project

Plans recently completed for a new 23,000-sf central plant at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles are now under review by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development in Sacramento. Providing 10 megawatts of emergency power and 6,000 tons of chilled water, the underground plant will be added to the existing 4,500-ton electrical plant and will work in conjunction with it. Beginning construction in October and slated for completion in April 2003, the project is estimated to cost $22 million. Joining LSW Engineers who secured the contract in January 2001, other Los Angeles consultants on the project include Mollenhauer Group  providing civil engineering; structural engineer Brandow Johnston & Associates; general contractor Peck/Jones-Obashi; architects Larson Carpenter; electrical engineer SMW, and acoustical consultant Veneklassen & Associates.
