NYS OGS, Sing-Sing Correctional Facility, Ossining, NY
Sing Sing Correctional Facility, formerly Ossining Correctional Facility, is a maximum-security prison operated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision in the village of Ossining, New York.
It is made up of 40 buildings where the steam and hot water distribution systems run both in tunnels and below grade. Scope include study of the heating systems controls and condition of the hot water distribution systems supplying all the facilities.
SETTY re-designed the existing Building Automation Control (BAC) system, Human interface, Network communication infrastructure and associated DDC equipment. Design includes infrastructure provisions necessary to comply with Executive Order 88 with regard to metering and storing data. SETTY designed the capacity, scalability, and flexibility for future sub-metering for all buildings and developed control diagrams and AHU replacement for the buildings.
Scope also includes engineering services to incorporate conduit routing into the drawings package for fire alarm replacement and renovation design. The conduit layout is similar to the controls design and the fire alarm cabling was pulled through the conduit in connecting the various buildings and fire alarm zones.
NYS OGS, Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, Bedford Hills, NY
Bedford Hills Correctional facility is a women’s maximum-security correctional facility located in Westchester County. Various buildings throughout the facility required inmate television Master Antenna System (MATV). Most of the existing, over the air television systems were non-operative. The aim of this project was to capture, via an antenna, open air television and distribute a television signal via underground cabling to various buildings for inmate and staff television viewing.
SETTY scope includes electrical engineering for the replacement of facility-wide, over the air television signal cabling system. The project site consists a total of sixteen buildings ranging between 1 and 149.
NYS OGS, Mid State Correctional Facility, Marcy, NY
Mid-State Correctional Facility is a medium security level facility for males. SETTY scope includes replacement of the interior transformers with exterior pad mounted transformers at several buildings at the Mid-State Correctional Facility. The existing transformers were difficult to work on and their locations presented a safety hazard to the building occupants. Scope includes preparation of a design to remove existing interior transformers and associated infrastructure and install new pad mounted transformers in addition to determination of appropriate locations for the new equipment.
Philadelphia Prison Masterplan, Philadelphia, PA
The focus of this project was to develop a plan to modernize the Philadelphia Prisons campus and facilities to meet modern correctional best practices. SETTY services include MEP/FP and Fire Alarm Condition Assessment to update the System’s Master Plan.
An Existing Facilities Conditions Assessment (FCA) was performed which include several correctional facilities and ancillary buildings comprising the PDP system (e.g. warehouse, maintenance, laundry, marketable skills and re-entry center, training academy, etc.). The purpose of the analysis was to assess the viability of current buildings in meeting future objectives relative to existing physical plant conditions as to determine their long-term value relative to the Master Plan (e.g. renovate or replace).
Conceptual Options were developed and evaluated in workshop setting with representatives from PDP, Department of Prisons and the Department of Public Property (DPP), and the Planning and Budget Office. The Recommended Option for meeting future correctional system requirements in the City of Philadelphia is reflective of bed space projections, inmate population to be served, operational objectives, and physical plant realities.
