Heating Operation & Transmission District (HOTD) Underground Utility Project

Location: Washington, DC

Market: Federal & Public Agencies

Services: Construction Management, Program Management

AFG was awarded an IDIQ contract to manage the replacement of Steam and Condensate Lines valued at $24,000,000. The project scope is to replace and upgrade critical utility infrastructure to government buildings throughout downtown DC. Project includes 10,900 LF of steam & condensate pre-engineered piping running between the existing service tunnels and the steam client buildings. Many effected buildings are listed on the National Historic Register including the Washington Monument, The Organizations of American States, the National Academy of Science, the Departments of Justice, Interior, Interior South and Commerce. Some of the other buildings that have been affected, to date, are the Museum of American History, Theodore Roosevelt Building, Archives, ICC/Customs, and the Corcoran Gallery Building. This project will improve efficiency and modernization by decreasing transmission losses with improved system insulation; and by increasing the condensate return to the Central Plant. As a result, the system is returning condensation up from the previous low of 35% to the new level of 50%. This will provide a significant savings to both energy and water treatment cost.

AFG is the Construction Manager and Owner’s Project Representative on this project, which requires multi-party coordination of GSA and building tenant representatives, building management representatives, the DC government, including the DC Department of Transportation.
