UCSF Medical Center Nitrogen System

This project was conducted for UCSF Medical Center to upgrade the capacity of their Nitrogen system, transitioning from a system supplied by an assemblage of gas six-packs with a gas cylinder reserve, to a system of liquid filled Dewars with a gas six-pack assemblage reserve. The system was located within an interior room of the hospital where there were unrelated seismic noncompliance issues, so the project also included bringing the entire room into Code compliance.
