Construction
The site has multiple constriants in laydown area and safety. To the north of the site a raised highway is a concern for the crane crew when lifting materials. Another logistical problem is the lack of laydown area on site. Therefore three lanes of the street to the west of the site are used for laydown and space for a mobile crane to be used.
The electrical utility power that is provided to the hotel is via one transformer, located in the basement electrical room. The transformer feeds one main switchboard that is 3000A, 208Y/120V, 3 phase, and 4 wires. The power is distributed to 41 individual panel boards. The standby system is a 3000W diesel engine generator with 660 gallon fuel tank.
