Location:  Washington, D.C.

The Capitol Power Plant (CPP) was commissioned in 1909 with the sole purpose of heating and cooling different buildings throughout Capitol Hill using utility steam and chilled water. Originally, the CPP also provided electricity but later allowed PEPCO to take over that aspect in 1951. Since the plant started operations in 1910, the plant has had to be enlarged and renovated many times over to keep up with the expansion of Capitol Hill.

Work on this project included the rehabilitation of existing cooling towers, installation of supporting steel and pipe, and installation of new heat exchangers.
