Wayne J. Griffin Electric, Inc. (Griffin Electric) completed an electrical upgrade at the Nashoba Valley Medical Center. The electrical upgrade to the facility included a new 2500 amp, 277/480v switchboard, two 300KW generators, lighting, power and a fire alarm system, in addition to the re-feed of an existing 120/208v switchboard. The upgrade was made to the facility's main and emergency electrical rooms. The construction team included general contractor, Dennis DiGiando Corp., along with architect, Steffian Bradley Architects and electrical engineer, Engineered Building Systems, Inc. "It is imperative that within a medical facility, power not be interrupted, as it could compromise a patient's well-being," said Wayne Griffin, president of Griffin Electric. "Our team must be mindful of their daily actions on-site, in order to maintain continual operation of the facility's critical life-care systems." A member of the Steward Health Care System, the Nashoba Valley Medical Center serves 11 communities, with departments for emergency medicine, diagnostic imaging, cardiology, gastroenterology, oncology, orthopedics and general surgery.
