Noresco is building a new Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Facility at Hanscom Air Force Base
in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The CHP will serve the site’s steam requirements and off-set
electrical purchases from the incumbent electrical utility. The design scope includes preparation of a design package in sufficient detail for permitting, pricing, and construction by general, electrical, mechanical, civil & site utility subcontractors experienced with the installation of similar facilities. Waldron prepared the permit applications for the DEP Air Permit, Eversource Electric Interconnection, and the Pipeline Natural Gas Load Letter. The permit process was completed in 9 months.
