Santander Bank, Veterans Day Weekend Planned Outage for Maintenance & Testing

For almost 2 months, SullyMac General Foreman Emerson Recore worked diligently through the electrical rooms and mechanical spaces at Santander’s Sprawling 450,000 sf complex, in Columbia park Dorchester, which is made up of 5 separate buildings. In that time frame Emerson was able to formulate a planned outage that allowed SullyMac to safely and systematically shut down a large portion of the facility over Veterans Day weekend to allow crews to test and perform penetrative maintenance on numerous pieces of the electrical distribution system. Starting at 10PM on Friday Night of 11/10, our crew worked 3 straight shifts for 38 straight hours, completing the work Sunday afternoon at Noon.

It was a successful weekend, we completed all testing as required and we were able to identify several areas of concern and correct problems that may have lead to future unplanned outages. We have provided the client with a clean new one-line riser diagram, which is an accurate drawing that had not been updated since 1998. We are also providing Infra-Red scanning reports of all equipment, Circuit-breaker test reports for numerous critical circuit breakers, typed panel schedules and preventative maintenance reports on Russelectric gear, and transfer switches, Milton cat generators and several other key components to the electrical system. Our SullyMac crews worked approximately 800 hrs over the weekend to complete all of the tasks required along with numerous other vendors and key facility personnel & security
