Scope:  As part of the Klamath LEF/VFD upgrade, the mechanical contractor will be shutting down lab exhaust fans sequentially in order to upgrade the fan motors and their accessories.

Services Impacted:

  • During this work, airflow will be lessened substantially, but some will remain (in hoods, general building exhaust, etc.) as the ductwork is interconnected. However, we do not recommend using fume hoods or other equipment tied into the exhaust system during this work as appropriate airflows will not be provided.
  • Also, while the exhaust flow is lessened, there will be minor positive pressure fluctuations until the system is returned to normal operation.
    The north side fans will be shut down on 9/19/23 10/10/23, with the south side fans to follow on 9/20/23 10/11/23. Both shutdowns will be for a full days’ time, with each fan coming back online the following day, individually.

Special Instructions:  Prior to this date, please close fume hood sashes and seal containers within the fume hoods.

9/12/23 Streisinger Hall Electrical and HVAC Systems Outage

Posted on by jepeters

UPDATE:
The elevator will be offline during this time.

Special Instructions:  If you have concerns about accessing your workplace when elevator services are impacted, please contact your supervisor to find an appropriate accommodation.

 

 

Begin:  Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at 7:00 am

End:      Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at 12:00 noon

Building(s) or Area(s) Affected:  Streisinger Hall

Scope:  To tie in new equipment needed to provide electrical service redundancy to Streisinger Hall, making future outages less impactful and safer for our electrical teams, a larger electrical outage is required.

Services Impacted:

Overall outage effects to consider are:

  • It will begin at 7:00 am and end at 12:00 noon (5 hour duration)
  • For the 1st hour, all power to the building will go down (110v, 208v, and 480v service)
  • After the first hour, 120v and 208v, which serves most of your lab equipment, will be live until electrical work is completed at or before 11am. All 480V service will be down for the duration of the work; this is not anticipated to have direct effects to your operations.
  • Between the 1st hour and the electrical work completion time listed above, no HVAC systems will be operating via the controls systems, but the BAS crew will be monitoring systems and making manual adjustments to reduce any risks to your operations.
  • Once the electrical work is completed, and in order to make final connections, the electrical system will go down once more for up to 1 hour.
  • Once the connections have been made all electrical service will be back in place.

We are aware that this is an inconvenience and we will do all we can to expedite the work and accommodate any needs you might have while power is limited. Thank you for your understanding and assistance as we move through this process.

Special Instructions:  Please shut down and unplug all multi-function copier devices as well as any printers during scheduled power outages. The software on these machines can be negatively affected due to the power surge when the power is turned back on.  A power surge can corrupt the clone files in the machines and change preconfigured settings.  For questions, please contact Kati Kronholm at 541-346-5370 or katik@uoregon.edu.  For non-copier questions, please reach out to the contact person listed below.
