The Electrical system includes normal power, lighting, data/telecommunications, audio/visual and fire. Plumbing systems include the new natural gas service and routing of the gas line to the new RTU’s, boilers and domestic water heaters. The Plumbing services also included are water, sanitary waste, and sanitary vent for the fit-out. The drawings for the project were prepared for NJ DCA, local permitting and competitive bidding.
