5/23/24 – Unknown – CPFM Administration Quonset Steam Work Advisory

Posted on by jepeters

UPDATE: 5/28/24

Noise Advisory – There may be noise associated with reciprocating saw use this afternoon.

 

Building 136 Occupants:

This afternoon, the Mechanical Shop is going to turn the steam back on and listen for the hum upstairs.  If there is no hum, the steam will remain on until the chilled water switch over, barring the return of the hum.

If the hum returns, the steam will be turned off until 3:00 pm tomorrow (Friday), when the Mechanical Shop will turn it on for the long weekend in the hopes it heats up the building, as well as the concrete slab on the first floor, enough to retain some of the heat.  On Tuesday morning, the Mechanical Shop will shut off the steam and, when the pipes have cooled, will cut in a valve on the 2nd floor outside of Emily’s office and turn the valve to the off position.  They will then restore heat, leaving the upstairs coil isolated.  This will provide heat to the rest of the building, and we can focus on other heat sources for upstairs.

If the pipe degrades and the crew cannot install a valve, the steam will be shut off and we will contact a contractor to weld a cap on the pipe before turning it back on.  This is the worst-case scenario in that it removes the ability to run cold water through the coil upstairs when it gets warm again.

Building Steam Management Advisory for Spring 2024

Posted on by jepeters

Reminder About Seasonal Building Steam Management

As the warmer weather arrives, CPFM Facilities Services will again implement its process for systematically deactivating the heat within steam-controlled buildings.

These locations include the following:

  • Agate Hall (gym/auditorium)
  • Cascade Annex
  • Collier House
  • Columbia Hall (Room 154)
  • Condon Hall
  • CPFM Buildings
  • Esslinger Hall
  • Fine Arts Studios
  • Friendly Hall
  • Frohnmayer Music (radiators only)
  • Gerlinger Hall
  • Hendricks Hall
  • Huestis Hall (heat exchanger HEX-3 only for fin tube radiators)
  • Lawrence Hall (primary studios)
  • Lokey Education (East and West)
  • Mac Court (radiators only)
  • Millrace Woodshop
  • Onyx Bridge (072/090, 169/170)
  • Susan Campbell Hall
  • University Hall
  • Villard Hall
  • Volcanology Hall

Because turning off the system is an involved and lengthy process, Facilities Services has established the following methodology regulating when technicians will deactivate the steam for the warmer season:

As Spring temperatures become warmer, we systematically turn off the steam when outside nighttime air temperature is above 50 degrees for five (5) consecutive nights AND daytime air temperature is above 70 degrees for five (5) consecutive days.

Since Spring temperatures may vary widely from day to day, building occupants can expect inside temperatures to fluctuate until outside conditions meet the above criteria, and technicians can deactivate the steam.  A notice will be sent when the process begins.
