EMCOR's Dynalectric Wins Electrical Bids at Oregon Psychiatric Hospital
EMCOR Group Inc., Norwalk, Conn., announced that its Dynalectric Oregon subsidiary has been awarded several contracts for the installation of various electrical systems at a state-run psychiatric hospital facility in Salem, Oregon. Dynalectric will be responsible for performing much of the site underground infrastructure ductwork (medium voltage/data/security/site lighting) and under slab work on all hospital buildings at the site.
In addition to installing the entire voice/data systems for the renovation, as part of the project Dynalectric Oregon will perform the electrical work on the Kirkbride building remodel which, when complete, will serve as the new administration building and a museum. The renovation project will involve several buildings and facilities: Kirkbride Building, a new central kitchen, a renovated historical building, new wings to house and manage the growing patient population, and a new central utility plant. Dynalectric will also install the tele-data systems, including air-blown fiber optics, in all administration and patient areas. Details
