Phased Nuclear Power Station M&E Building Renovation

This project included a comprehensive modernization of the second floor of the M&E Building, providing the M&E team with an updated work area to perform their analyzation and prioritization of plant repairs set for scheduled shutdowns. To maintain operations during construction, PCG strategically executed the project in two phases. After completing Phase 1, the plant entered a scheduled shutdown and Phase 2 resumed once the shutdown ended.

The renovated floor layout was designed to maximize collaboration and efficiency, featuring state-of-the-art office spaces and conference rooms, advanced work control rooms, and a critical hi-tech Operations Command Center. The outdated cubicles that everyone once worked at were replaced with prefabricated wall systems complete with glass windows and sliding doors, creating bright, collaborative, and a more efficient work environment. New bathrooms, updated bathrooms, and two fully modernized kitchens were added to improve the daily comfort for the M&E staff. This project also marked a milestone in innovation: it was the first project at Entergy to incorporate a VRF mechanical system, and it represented the largest VRF system PCG has ever installed, providing advanced energy efficiency and comfort control. The electrical work included a new transfer switch, distribution panels, LED lighting, fire alarm systems, an A/V package, and a major telecommunications and data infrastructure installation to support the plant’s high-tech operations. By completing this historic project, Paramount has helped Entergy strengthen its operational backbone and ensure the Nuclear Station is equipped for decades of safe, reliable, and efficient performance. This project also helped PCG achieve Preferred Vendor status for all three Entergy nuclear plants in the Southeast—a testament to our quality, reliability, and partnership.
