Project Description | Facility / Infrastructure and TRU waste treatment; Electrical / control/data transmission and receipt for equipment associated with TLW influent storage, treatment processes, and effluent storage/discharge

Scope Of Work | This facility design includes a chemical process to remove Trans Uranic Waste from liquid waste streams from several facilities at the laboratory. The electrical design consisted of power distribution, interior, exterior and emergency egress lighting, lightning protection, public address, and tel/data systems. A 10 kVA uninterruptable power supply (UPS) was provided to power vacuum pumps for the continuous air monitoring (CAM) system. Site power and signal were extended from the adjacent Low Level Waste facility. LANL Security provided design and drawings for an Apollo access control for exterior personnel doors. The off-site utilities consisted of a 1200 amp 480 volt three phase feeder extended from a padmount transformer in an underground duct bank to the equipment room of the TRU Liquid Waste (TLW) facility. An underground signal duct bank of 2-3” conduits was extended from a telephone pullbox at the Low Level Waste facility to the telephone equipment room at the TLW facility.
