Public Works Bldg – Fuel Tank Room
Project Overview
This project involves the limited interior conversion of a support room into a fuel tank and pumps room, along with adjacent storage spaces, within the Public Works Building in Los Angeles, California. The remodel includes targeted upgrades to lighting, power, and HVAC exhaust systems to support the new equipment and operational requirements.
Project Scope
Electrical Engineering
Our scope included a full review of existing electrical conditions, including as-built drawings and site verification to determine points of connection and evaluate system capacity. We designed the complete interior electrical system upgrades needed for the converted spaces, including lighting circuiting, Title 24 compliant lighting controls, emergency egress lighting, and power distribution for all equipment. The scope also covered single-line diagrams, voltage and short circuit calculations, and coordination of low-voltage conduit pathways.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical services involved assessing existing site conditions and designing the HVAC exhaust requirements for the new fuel tank and pumps room. The scope included exhaust system design, air distribution planning, specification of required equipment and diffusers, and preparation of mechanical energy compliance documentation as required by state regulations.
