On the Washington Monument grounds at 15th
Street, NW, Washington, D.C., LORING is providing construction documents
and construction administration for the design of electrical distribution
and a lighting control system for the new site layout, as well as the site
security systems.
The
security systems consist of controllable concrete bollards at entrance
points to the monument site and power connection for remote controlled
security cameras, which are monitored by the United States Park Police.
The
lighting, which was designed by the project lighting consultant, consists
of new lighting for the walkways, the flagpoles that surround the
monument, and direct illumination of the monument itself.
The
electrical distribution is derived from the existing monument electrical
system located in an underground vault adjacent to the monument. A new
electrical room was created in the vault in order to install the
distribution and control equipment that is required.
LORING also provided power distribution design for the irrigation of
the same site.
