[Entm-researchstaff] Fwd: 2024 Annual Steam Shutdown Notification Multiple Buildings — 7/12 to 7/21

Thu Jul 11 15:43:53 PDT 2024

Just a reminder.

   - No building autoclave during steam shutdown
   - If history serves me well, it might get chilly in the building despite
   outside temps.  Have sweatshirt handy.

*Planned Shutdown Notification*

*DATE & TIME*

Friday, July 12, starting at 12:00 pm, through Sunday, July 21

*WHAT TO EXPECT*

Heat and steam will be off to facilities throughout campus. This will
affect building heating, hot water, sterilization, autoclave operations,
and other laboratory processes.

*PURPOSE* UCR’s Central Plant will be conducting a routine inspection and
maintenance of the steam utility distribution system. The inspection
ensures continued, reliable delivery of pressurized steam and hot water for
campus buildings. This is for sterilization and other laboratory processes,
and climate control. July requires a minimal demand for steam, due to
warmer weather and smaller campus population, and has the least impact on
the campus community.

Campus boilers will be turned off to cool for two days, and work will
commence on July 15. The shutdown is labor intensive, both in the Central
Plant and the steam tunnels. Skilled trade staff will work 10-12 hour
shifts to: shut down boilers; drain the system; make necessary repairs;
reignite boilers; reintroduce high-pressure steam; check the entire system
for leaks; and bring buildings back online. The work is done in an
environment that has no climate control and temperatures exceed 110
degrees, 24 hours a day, in a confined space. Boilers are planned to be
relit on the morning of July 21 to have steam fully restored by July 22.
