Temporary Infrastructure for Maintenance Works at St. Antonius Hospital Utrecht
Last month, major maintenance was carried out to safeguard the electrical operations of the main infrastructure at the St. Antonius Hospital, Utrecht location.
As part of these works, Voet Energy Solutions, together with other parties involved, developed a detailed advisory plan, laid multiple cable routes, and assisted with various switching operations.
This allowed eight low-voltage distribution boards to be powered from another transformer within the building — without the need for a temporary generator or plunging the hospital into darkness.
Several cable routes, which were installed short-circuit-proof in the technical rooms, partially ran over the hospital roof.
To enable measurement points, fuse boxes were installed in the temporary cable routes. These allowed us to check and verify voltage, voltage differences, phase rotation, and phase alignment.
In collaboration with Robert van der Lee, installation manager, and other colleagues from St. Antonius Hospital, a range of switching operations was carried out over four consecutive Saturdays.
Once switched over to the alternative transformer, various parties performed maintenance on the secured medium-voltage transformer and low-voltage circuit breakers.
After completion of the works, the installation was returned to its original operating state and the temporary cable routes were removed.
