MetroPower Atlanta continues our success in the healthcare industry, working with construction firm Robins & Morton on the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of North Alabama in Huntsville, AL.

The project is a relocation of the current Encompass Health Rehabil­itation Hospital to a new site at the intersection of U.S. 72 and Moores Mill Road. The 76,000-square-foot facility will include 82 patient rooms, an on-site therapy gym, a cafeteria, and office space.

MetroPower is working with long-standing partner, ECHO Power Engineering, to upgrade the emergency electrical system at Memorial Health in Savannah, GA.

This $4 million project includes replacing the hospital’s normal and emergency power systems. Items that will be replaced are three 1 Megawatt (MW) generators, new electrical switchgear (normal and emergency), new medium voltage switch gear (normal and emergency) and all associated conduit / cabling conductors. Superintendent

Joe Evans is leading the project, with 14 MetroPower employees onsite daily.
