York PA Building Trades

After nearly 1 year, the $13.5 million expansion and renovation of the Ruhl Student Center at Penn State York Campus is wrapping up.

In 2013 Wellspan Health Selected electrical contractor G.R. Sponaugle to perform the highly technical Emergency Power Systems Upgrade project at the York Hospital.

Features of the project included:

The York Energy Center, which was completed in 2011, replicates a model currently in use at the Hay Road and Bethlehem energy centers. The York plant  uses state-of-the-art, combined cycle, power generators capable of producing 565 megawatts of electricity. When Calpine acquired the facility in 2010 as part of its purchase of the Conectiv Energy assets, its construction was about 70 percent complete.

In early 2007 construction began on the immense FGD project at Brunner’s Island. Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is a technology used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the exhaust flue gasses of fossil fuel power plants.

Fossil fuel power plants burn coal or oil to produce steam for steam turbines, which in turn drive electricity generators.

In 2002 Edwin L. Heim Electric Co. teamed up with IBEW 229 to install the electrical systems during the construction of the York Hospitals Patient Care Tower. Construction lasted nearly 3 years with the final product being a 6 story state of the art patient facility for heart,orthopedic, and maternity patients. A state of the art Heart Cath Lab was installed as well.

This project is another showcase of the extreme professionalism of the IBEW Local 229 electricians and the NECA team. We are proud to have been a part of this York County landmark.

It is located on 89 acres in a brownfield industrial site in Straban Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. The facility includes three state-of-the-art combustion turbines and three heat recovery steam generators with selective catalytic reduction. The plant utilizes a dry-cooled condenser to minimize groundwater usage from on-site wells. The facility began commercial operation in 2003, providing electric power to PJM Interconnection.
