HDD Used to Install Oregon High School's Geothermal System

摘要

One of the greenest cities in the United States, - Portland, Ore. - is especially eco-conscious when it comes to urban and regional planning. And the suburbs around Portland are no exception. New construction projects are being designed with conservation in mind. A new high school in Sandy, Ore., was no exception to the environmentally-friendly attitude builders and engineers around Portland possess. Located less than 30 miles outside of the city, the new school was designed to accommodate a growing high school population. The 310,000-sq ft building situated on 82 acres along Bell Street is almost double the size of its predecessor, and the campus will accommodate a minimum of 1,600 students and support space for an additional 200.
