Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Parking Lot Charlie “C” and Helipad

PVNGS has numerous make shift parking areas located throughout the site. These satellite parking lots consisted of fragmented area’s that did not support all the staff on site or accommodate the outage surge of supplemental workers. With the establishment of this centralized parking lot, it eliminated those undesirable impacts and consolidated the majority of vehicles to a controlled area. The project was broken up into the 3 major phases of construction.

Phase 1:
Construct a new Helipad, with associated parking and access drive located off of the main road south of the visitor’s parking.
Phase 2:
This phase consisted of the northern portion of the main parking lot, including the eastern and center drives.
Phase 3:
Phase 3 shall consist of the southern portion of the main parking lot.

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Building Golf

The original building was a two-story office building constructed in the mid -1970’s as a temporary annex to the warehouse. It was intended as a temporary building for use only during the construction of PVNGS and was to be removed after that was completed. Instead, several remodel and refurbishment projects have taken place since the building was erected, including office tenant improvements and roof repairs. Building "G", had numerous deficiencies identified in the building assessment and additonally those relating to infrastructure and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other code requirements. The interior condition of the building was degraded to a level that would not sustain long term occupancy. The site received an extension of the operating license which allows the plant to operate for another 20 years. In order to Safely and efficiently generate electricity for the long term, the site needed to upgrade the facilities so they can continue to support operations. This renovation was the first step in implementing the sites Faciltites Master Plan. The space in the building was developed to serve as swing space as other buildings are renovated. In addition, it has been designated as a permanent building for long-term occupancy. The project consisted of full renovation of two 32,000SF floors to include removal of walls to open the floor up and creating natual light by providing windows. New stairwells and the installation of an elevator were required to provide access the second floor.
