Campus Wide Scheduled Power Outage, 12/20/09
Posted on November 23th, 2009
A planned outage lasting an estimated 10 hours is necessary for Duke Energy crews to replace 4000 feet of static guard lightning protection cabling on Clemson University’s main electrical delivery service from Highway 76/28 to the Cherry Road Substation. This cabling is heavily worn and subject to failure which could result in an extended unplanned outage.
This will be a complete power outage affecting all facilities on the main campus within the boundaries of Perimeter Road, including the Botanical Gardens, Athletic Facilities & Practice Fields, and Y-Beach. Buildings without emergency power generators will not be available for use during this time. Buildings with emergency generators will have limited power on emergency circuits for critical power and to power Life Safety Code systems for fire protection and emergency egress. With the exception of a few research and emergency response buildings with emergency power generators, there will be no lights, heating, and air conditioning during this outage. Research buildings with power to critical emergency circuits are Ag-Biotech Research Center, Fluor-Daniel, Godley-Snell, Hunter Hall, Jordan Hall, and Rhodes. Additionally, the Police and Fire Station have back-up emergency power.
Campus users will be advised to shutdown sensitive laboratory and department equipment for this outage as a precaution to avoid any possible electrical damage. No unplanned electrical work on the buildings or systems is permitted without following proper protocals for Lockout and Tagout. Once power is restored by Duke Energy, University Facilities crews will be checking campus buildings to ensure proper start-up and restoration of building equipment and systems. Departments will be responsible for start-up of sensitive laboratory and departmental equipment.
The back-up weather date should we have rain or extremely cold temperatures will be Sunday, December 27, 2009.
