US2 is delivering a major modernization of the central utility plant at the Muskogee VA Medical Center, replacing aging high-voltage infrastructure and upgrading the hospital’s core mechanical systems for long-term reliability. The project includes a full conversion from 4,160V to 480V service, replacement of three chillers and cooling towers, new pumps, controls, and extensive structural improvements to support the upgraded equipment. To ensure uninterrupted patient care, US2 executed a strategically phased design-bid-build approach — incorporating temporary chillers, sequenced substation cutovers, and cell-by-cell cooling tower replacements. Each phase is carefully coordinated with VA operations and verified through rigorous testing, inspections, and commissioning. This multi-discipline effort strengthens the hospital’s energy backbone, enhances cooling performance, and provides a safer, more efficient utility plant that can support the VA’s mission for years to come.X
US2 delivered a full facility-wide HVAC upgrade at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center, replacing more than 1,200 aging VAV boxes and converting the entire system from outdated pneumatic controls to a modern Tridium DDC network. Initially awarded as a design-bid-build, the project evolved with US2 stepping in as Designer of Record to ensure full compliance with current VA HVAC standards. Our team executed detailed building analyses, developed new drawings and specifications, and coordinated day-to-night installation sequencing to minimize disruption to patient care. Each phase included Pre-TAB, strict ICRA controls, new room-level temperature and humidity monitoring, and commissioning by AHU to ensure peak performance. The result—greater reliability, improved comfort, and a smarter, more efficient facility that supports the VA’s mission of exceptional patient care.
US2 was selected by NCO 19 to execute a facility-wide upgrade of the domestic hot water system at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center, correcting Legionella risks and addressing latency deficiencies to improve patient safety and system reliability. The phased effort extended through mechanical rooms, active patient corridors, and occupied care areas — all completed under strict infection-control measures to maintain uninterrupted hospital operations. The scope included replacement of heat exchangers, installation of new expansion tanks, recirculation and condensate pumps, hydronic hot water pumps, mixing valves, and touch-free sensor fixtures, along with enhanced monitoring points fully integrated into the BAS. Following mechanical upgrades, US2 restored every space to its original condition with seamless finish repair. The result: safer water quality, smarter control, and greater compliance with VA standards for infection prevention.
