Executing a Critical Generator Installation for the AT&T Building in Downtown Portland
In a complex operation in the heart of downtown Portland, Cochran successfully upgraded the AT&T building's power infrastructure by installing a 100,000-pound, 2.5MW generator 150 feet above the street. Facing significant logistical, technical, and regulatory hurdles, our team orchestrated the project with precision, deploying a 550-ton crane and integrating 500 linear feet of high-capacity busway through the fully operational telecommunications hub. Through meticulous planning, innovative problem-solving, and extensive coordination with city authorities, we executed the lift flawlessly, achieving an 83% increase in power capacity to 5.5MW. The project was completed with zero downtime for the client and a perfect safety record, ensuring enhanced power redundancy and reliability for the critical facility.
