The project consisted of both the relocation of very large existing infrastructure improvements and the construction of two new buildings to house four stationary 2.5 MW generators and an electrical building to house switchgear for four generators and one additional 2.5 MW portable generator that can be connected when a stationary generator is being serviced. This stand-by generation facility for Lexington Pump Station was constructed and financed by the DuPage Water Commission in partnership with the City of Chicago. Our electrical installation also included providing and installing a variable-frequency drive system to control a 2,500 horsepower synchronous motor and a 2,000 horsepower synchronous motor. After this project, Sharlen was the recipient of the Award for Project Excellence (APEX), presented by Lake County Contractors.
