pounds and comes in pairs? Why the Uninterruptible Chilled Dater
Storage tanks of course.
As part of NBPO'S goal of providing reliable utility services
to the New Headquarters Building (NHB), an Uninterruptible Chilled
Water (UCHW) System is being installed. The heart of this system is
two underground storage tanks which each hold 37,000 gallons of chilled
water.

Moving one of the
two tanks into place.
Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) are old news. It has
long been a practice to protect computer centers against power outages
by installing UPS equipment to provide power to computers in the event
of a power failure. The UPS equipment relies on large battery banks to
provide power until emergency generators are brought on line. We have
come to realize that in addition to power problems, modern computers
are very sensitive to temperature fluctuations and need reliable air
conditioning to operate. It follows that if we are willing to spend
significant funds for UPS equipment to protect us during a power outage,
we should also do something to insure the continuity of air conditioning.

Cranes positioning the
tank over the hole.
The two Uninterruptible Chilled Water storage tanks
shown in these photographs store chilled water which is used in the
computer room air conditioning systems. Should there be a power
outage, special pumps will draw water from the tanks and circulate it to
the Office of Information Technology computer centers. The UPS
(power) and UCHW (cold water) systems will provide continuity of
critical utility systems until power is restored from either the commercial
system or the emergency generating systems.

Final resting place.
These photographs only suggest the enormous problems
which had to be overcome to put these tanks in place. Special trailers
were needed to transport the tanks. Permits were obtained from a
number of jurisdictions to allow the tanks to be transported over public
roads from Richmond to the Headquarters compound.

Management Division to insure that underground utilities would not be
damaged by the weight of the equipment. NBPO also appreciates the
cooperation of the Security Protective Officers in escorting the tanks
through the compound.
