A large healthcare provider planned to construct a new, 170-bed, $700 million facility on 48 acres in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. As with most medical facilities, a robust backup power system was needed to mitigate and avoid the risk and consequences of power disruption to life-safety and critical systems. For these reasons, requirements for ASCO’s industry-leading automatic transfer switches, power control systems, and Critical Power Management Systems were included in the construction specifications for the project.
