The course of the team's work required two overnight shut downs; the first to transition from damaged permanent power to temporary power, and the second to transition from temporary power to new permanent power. Each shutdown required more than 40 men to work over 20 hours. Team Helix in Nevada started the Plaza Hotel and Casino rehabilitation in 2018. A broken water main flooded the 19th floor of the North Tower, damaging distribution equipment and wiring on the top four floors.
For the renovation, Helix replaced more than two-hundred feet of 480V and 208V busway and seventeen 480V and 208V panels. The team also installed a 200 amp 480V switch; a 1,600 amp 208V switch for new busway up the tower; 16,000 feet of DLO cable; and 34 temporary panels for temporary power.
Project Manager Troy McTeer said that the job was difficult and required immense planning to ensure great work. McTeer believes the project is a perfect example of prosperity through adversity.
