Projects
KELLY provides first quality electrical
construction and renovation projects throughout the metropolitan
Washington/Baltimore region, including portions of Virginia
as far south as Richmond and portions of Maryland as far
east as Easton. Current projects include:
1.
NCE 35kV Power Upgrade Project
 
This project includes installing approximately 30,000 feet of 500 MCM and 4/0 35kV cables in underground duct banks; multiple contractors working simultaneously means close coordination is very important; foreman Jason Gatorian coordinates daily with several parties in order to assure the work progresses smoothly. Kelly personnel have also assisted the switchgear manufacturer to craft a solution where insufficient termination points for parallel feeder cables were provided in the switchgear. In addition to working under the strict supervision of the base safety officers and attending many safety classes, our crews are on the lookout for endangered plants and turtles – oh, and also buried ordnance!
2. Anacostia Pumping Station Replacement, Washington, DC
 
The challenge of buiding a complete new fresh water pumping station in a residential neighborhood, with no interruption in water service, has proved no match for the skill and dedication of foreman Jim Means Jr. and his highly skilled crew. The work includes a complete new 15kV primary service, 4.16kV interim service for large pumps, as well as the normal 480/277-volt and 208/120-volt building services. Kelly crews installed over 10 miles of conduits and nearly 90 miles of wiring to complete this project; and it looks so good that the Washington Building Congress has honored Kelly with a coveted 2008 Craftsmanship Award.
3. Multi Mission Aircraft Test Facility at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD (no photos)
Phase 1 has been completed and Phase 2 is under way on this three phase project for design/builder Sauer Inc.. This project, the first of several that Kelly has under contract with Sauer, consists of renovations to multiple buildings and hangars at the Naval Air Station Patuxent River, as part of the Multi Mission Maritime Aircraft Test Facility for the U.S. Navy. Phase 2, now under way, is nearing completion; Phase 3 will follow and includes more interior renovation work to Hangar 305, and extensive underground utility relocation work so that the hangar apron area can be enlarged for this program.
4. Hangar 110 Renovations at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, MD (no photos)
Another design/build job for Sauer Inc., this project consists of interior renovations to the ‘lean-to’ office spaces in Hangar 110. It also includes an extensive upgrade to the incoming 15-kv primary power distribution and telecomm systems. Foreman Bob Thorne and crew are well along on this project; the Waterside lean-to space renovation is nearing completion, and the first of two new electrical services is being readied to be energized.
5. Hawkeye Aircraft Test and Evaluation Facility at Patuxent Naval Air Station (no photos)
Kelly’s third design/build construction project with Sauer Inc. consists of a new 2-storey building with large open office areas, along with several conference/briefing rooms and two electronic test labs to serve the Navy’s aircraft research, development, testing and evaluation effort. This structure will replace several temporary buildings to be demolished once the new one is completed.
Senior Project Manager Charlie Coffman and foreman Kevin Carlisle are collaborating to guide this design/build project to successful completion.
6. North Campus Power Plant Renovation, College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, VA
Having just finished up a 3-year environmental upgrade project in Charlottesville, Virginia at University of Virginia’s tri-fuel Main Heating Plant under the expert guidance of foreman Jim Ashley, we have started another project with contractor Frank Lill and Son, Inc., at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. This one, smaller by far than the Charlottesville job, involves replacing all of the oil-fired boilers with new dual-fuel boilers, a complete mechanical and electrical replacement, and historically correct facelift for the building itself; a planned second phase will be construction of a chiller plant addition with ice-storage equipment.
7. Hirshhorn Museum of Modern Art, Structural Leaks Repair Project
The Hirshhorn Structural Leaks Project includes an expansion of the loading dock, replacement of an emergency generator, and upgrade of the building air handling system; Kelly is providing a new motor control center and variable frequency motor controllers. Foreman Howard Ricks and Project Manager Clancy March have the unique challenge of replacing equipment with minimum disturbance to normal building operating schedule, museum staff, and daily visitors.
