Rural hospital enlists a neighbor, installs modern central plant

摘要

A $7.3 million central plant with N+1 redundancy on the chillers, generators, and boilers in a small hospital in rural southwest Georgia — a dream? The dream of Colquitt Regional Medical Center (CRMC) and its director of facility operations, Bob Howe and his assistant, Rick Stolarski, is now a reality. "It has been a long, tough road to get this plant to where it is today. The challenges that faced the design and construction team were numerous and required all of our combined talents and expertise," Howe said. "I wanted to step out of the box and change the overall approach to the project and methodologies used."
