22.09.22 Basement Disruption Notice (1)

 

9/14/22 Planned Power Outage

Posted on by jepeters

UPDATE:
Utilities & Energy has switched from island mode back to the normal power configuration as planned.
Please report any issues caused by the outage, including IT, to the CPFM Work Control Center at 541-346-2319,  workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu, or by entering a service request on the UO call log https://cgis.uoregon.edu/Calllog.
Thank you.

 

 

We are writing to remind you of the upcoming annual planned power outage on Wednesday, September 14th, 2022.

In the event our campus service from the local EWEB electrical grid is interrupted, the UO Utility and Energy plant is capable of providing the campus with electricity (called Island Mode). To best ensure this system operates as designed when needed, the Utility and Energy plant now exercises this system annually. This year’s Island Mode event will take place on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at 7:35 am. 

At 7:35 am, the entire campus will shift from the primary EWEB power source to the backup generator system at the Central Power Station, also known as “Island Mode”.

While not anticipated, some buildings may briefly lose power when the switch occurs, if a portion of the system does not perform as expected.

At 7:45 am, Feeder 1 will be de-energized.  Affected buildings will experience a  power outage lasting approximately 1 hour.  During this time Utilities and Energy staff will be disconnecting power in a vault for a switch replacement project and exchanging the feeder breaker. Crews will then ensure systems are successfully coming back online.

At 9:00 am, Feeder 10 will be de-energized.  Affected buildings will experience a power outage lasting 15 minutes. During this time Utilities and Energy staff will be exchanging the feeder breaker.  Crews will then ensure systems are successfully coming back online.

At 10:00 am, Standby feeder 2 will be de-energized. This will have no affect to the campus buildings.

At 12:00 noon, Utilities and Energy will Initiate normal power configuration.

For a detailed schedule of feeders and maps of buildings affected, visit the 2022 Power Outage webpage. Updates about the project will be posted on that page and Around the O.

Individuals who wish to request planning assistance for the outages should contact Campus Planning and Facilities Management Work Control at workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu or 541-346-2319.

Please remember to shut down all multi-function copier devices as well as any printers. 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.

8/08/22 – 8/11/22 Oregon Hall Freight Elevator Shutdown

Posted on by jepeters

UPDATE 8/11/22:
Work has been completed on the freight elevator and it is now operational.

 

UPDATE 8/10/22:

EHS was notified of an odor issue in Oregon Hall at 11:30 on 8-10-2022. EHS responded immediately and identified the following issue:

The elevator contractor was using mineral spirits to clean oily residue off of the elevator components in the elevator pit. They were also using a fan to stay cool while working, blowing air in to the elevator pit. This inadvertently sent mineral spirit odors up the elevator shaft where is intruded into the freight elevator lobbies through the gaps in the doors. Affected building areas included the freight elevator lobbies on floors 1-3.

EHS corroborated the presence of odors with them intensifying as you went up from floors 1-3. Measurements collected with our VOC meter showed a maximum reading of 3.15 PPM. The Permissible Exposure Limit for Mineral Spirits is 100 PPM. Levels began dropping immediately after the exhaust fan was set up. Hazard levels of mineral spirits were not identified by EHS related to this incident.

Please free to contact me if you have any questions.
