This project consists of 3 Pepco Transformer Manholes and a buss vault with (3) 32-way water-proofed connections to the building. The cavity for the manholes was built by the General Contractor. Utility Systems was engaged to provide bedding material, purchase and deliver the utility vaults using a 300-ton crane, and completing primaries for Pepco to connect to in order to provide initially temporary power during construction and then permanent electrical service to this new construction.
In 2017, Camden Management took on an additional sustainability strategy by taking advantage of the District's favorable solar photovoltaic policies. Camden turned to Utility Systems to assist them in design and building a 131.04 kilo-watt nameplate solar array that nets down building consumption, reduces peak-load energy demand, improves air quality and minimizes their electricity bill. The system received permission to operate from Pepco in October/2017.
