Situation
Stanford University wanted to replace its aging central cogeneration plant with an energy friendly, technologically advanced electricity-powered ‘regeneration’ plant to supply hot and chilled water to the campus and hospitals.
Solution
To keep the project on schedule, GBI worked seven days a week for two months to off haul over 60,000 cubic yards of dirt and materials. In addition to clearing, demolition, and site prep, we were also responsible for installation of underground utilities, placement of aggregate, and all paving and grading, including fine grading of flatwork, roadways, and walks.
Notable
The new energy facility reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 68%, fossil fuel use by 65%, and water use by 18%, saving an estimated $420 million over the next 35 years.
