The new Oregon State Energy Center is a cogeneration facility housing two package English Boilers, a Heat Recovery Steam Generator, a Combustion Turbine and a Steam Turbine Generator. The plant generates a nominal 5.5 MW of electricity and the HRSG provides saturated steam to the campus while the duel fuel package boilers will operate as required at peak demand.

JH Kelly assisted with the large equipment setting and was responsible for all small equipment procurement and installation including pumps, tanks, pressure vessels, water treatment and softening. Piping systems include steam, condensate, gas, fuel oil, boiler feedwater, makeup water and blowdown. The entire project was modeled in 3D helping to eliminate field problems and expedite pre-fabrication. It has proven to be a useful tool to help the owner and general contractor alike discuss problems in a real working building and address access and maintenance issues long before costly field repairs.

The project is intended to be a LEED Platinum building and JH Kelly is providing a rainwater collection and transfer system as well as helping to maintain green building practices including recycled waste and procuring materials within a 200 mile radius.

• Registered LEED Platinum
• Emphasis on pre-fabrication with the help of 3D modeling
