DC Plug

Public-private partnership between Pepco and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to underground select primary electric lines.

The District of Columbia Power Line Undergrounding (DC PLUG) initiative is a partnership between the District and Pepco to improve the reliability and resiliency of the District of Columbia electric system by placing select systems underground. KCW coordinated with Pepco on conceptual designs of Feeder 308 and generated topographical surveys along the project area. KCW designed the construction bid set to include the plan and profile for underground electrical distribution facilities, sediment controls, resurfacing, traffic control plans and summary of quantities.  Design included over 4 miles of 5” Fiberglass and 4″ PVC conduit as well as associated structures.

Cogeneration and Chiller Plant Expansion Project

New Construction of Underground Chilled Water Distribution Network

The General Services Administration’s National Capital Region undertook this project to modernize existing chillers, eliminate the use of ozone depleting refrigerants and reduce electric costs. KCW prepared topographic surveys and existing utility locations within the urban historic Washington, DC street corridors.  We designed an underground chilled water distribution network (supply and return) for 12” – 30” insulated piping to serve multiple Smithsonian Museum and federal government buildings.  The design included and 8’ diameter structural plate tunnel under Independence Avenue, underground piping through the parking garage of the Department of Energy and the Air and Space Museum, a data and communications conduit system, and a power distribution system.  KCW prepared construction bid and permit documents.
