Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking information from qualified firms capable of providing Design-Build services for the design and construction of equipment and controls upgrades for the High Pressure LN2 Facility at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. The project aims to modernize 1960's era technology by replacing liquid nitrogen pumps, associated piping, valves, controls, and ancillary systems with a new automated system designed for durability, reliability, and reduced operational costs. The upgraded system will maintain or improve current capacity while reducing the number of pumps required.
• The project involves replacing minimum 5,000 PSIG system pumps and minimum 10,000 PSIG system pumps with modernized equipment.
• The project includes all new unloading pumps and circulator pumps.
• The project requires all piping to be upgraded or replaced, including valves and other components.
• The project involves automating all valve actuation and pump operation, with manual backup, and implementing a facility control system.
• The project requires integration with current vaporization towers and instrumentation of various data points.
• The project includes general facility upgrades and repairs, such as concrete foundation under pumps, electrical distribution, catwalk for operator access, foundation repairs, unloading station pavement/concrete repairs, walkway repairs, welding repairs, and painting.
