Profile In Excellence
National Institutes of
Health
The
National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the Federal focal
point for medical research in the United States. On the
main campus in Bethesda, MD, some 20,000 doctors,
researchers, and scientists work in over 60 buildings to
advance the state of medical knowledge and research.
The Building Maintenance Team (BMT) provides operation
and maintenance support to the Division of Property
Management for the care of all campus buildings.
|
| This
includes routine and emergency maintenance on electrical, mechanical,
and structural assets including utilities and a vast distribution system
for steam, chilled water and compressed air from a main plant on campus.
Program Highlights:
This is a
unique cooperative effort between government agencies in which the U.S.
National Institutes of Heath (NIH) Bethesda MD, is supported by U.S.
Naval Sea Systems Command Logistics Center, Mechanicsburg, PA.
The emphasis has been placed on improving the reliability of new and old
equipment for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and other critical
equipment in six major buildings and several other vital areas such as
Bio-safety Level 3 & 4 Labs on the huge campus in Bethesda, MD.
Navy Logistics Center personnel act as advisors and trainers for NIH,
provide special alignment and balancing kits, tools and training to NIH
craftspersons and have trained NIH design personnel on how to specify
equipment for laboratories and building operation that has the best
chance for lowest life cycle cost and highest reliability.
In its 6 years of operation, the program has been expanded to support
the design, installation, commissioning operation, maintenance and
re-engineering of facility equipment.
