UBC Life Sciences

Life Science Center – High Plume VFD Project

Location: University of British Columbia, Vancouver

Completion: Sept 2015

Value: 350,000 

Scope of Work: Working as a prime contractor we performed this complex Variable Frequency Drive motor control work for the Life Sciences Centre- High Plume system. Project involved installing new drives / ground bushings and wiring on existing high plume exhaust motors which service the exhaust hood for the labs throughout the building. Careful planning of work had to be coordinated and performed from beginning to end as to the hazardous air and need for the system to have minimal shutdowns. Work was undertaken in very short timeframes under complex / enclosed working conditions.

As the motors are installed in the high plume cones could not be removed easily, we came up with a scaffolding system, confined space safety program, air breathing system, and removal system for our personnel. The work performed was similar to ocean diving in an exhaust duct.

All new VFDs needed new control conduit / wiring completed on roof with rigid conduit.
