1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Project Name: EGWW DHWS Piping Replacement - Project 2

Project Number:

Region: 10

Building Name: Edith Green – Wendell Wyatt Federal Building Building Number: OR0043ZZ

Building Address: 1220 SW 3rd Avenue, Portland, OR 97232

The Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt (EGWW) Federal Building (OR0043ZZ), located at 1220 SW 3rd Ave, Portland, OR 9720, is an 18-story office building located in Portland’s government district. The building has been extensively renovated and modernized in a project that was funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and completed on May 1, 2013. This renovation included the replacement of plumbing and mechanical systems. As part of this renovation, random copolymer polypropylene (PP-R) piping was installed for domestic hot and cold water distribution, rainwater collection and recycle, and zone distribution for chilled water and heating hot water systems. Since March of 2018, a total of ten (10) failures have occurred. Seven (7) failures in the two inch (2”) PP-R domestic hot water primary loop supply main that extends from water heaters in the penthouse to the basement floor. Two (2) subsequent failures have occurred in the one inch (1”) DHW primary loop return and one (1) weld failure in the LTHW hydronic loop. This primary loop serves all of the domestic hot water circulating sub-mains in the building. The most recent failure occurred in January 2020.

Domestic cold water enters the building from the street and splits to feed three (3) pressure zones. Cold water is supplied to fixtures in the basement through Floor Two (2) by street pressure, while Floors 3 through 18, including 18A are fed by a booster pump. Pressure reducing stations for cold water are located on Floors 9 and 17. Water heaters for domestic hot water, located on the mezzanine above Floor 18, serve a primary domestic hot water pipe loop that extends the total rise of the building from the basement to the mezzanine (a total of twenty (20) floors). This loop is circulated by an inline pump that runs continuously. The domestic hot water (DHW) primary supply loop feeds into three (3) pressure reducing stations for the three (3) pressure zones or secondary loops. The reducing stations are located on Floors B1, 9 and 17. Water within each pressure zone is circulated in a loop by an inline pump through an electric water heater for temperature maintenance. Circulation through the secondary zones is continuous.
