When:
Saturday, November 20, 2021 between 06:30 am and 4:00 pm
Affects:
All normal power in McDonald, Burrard South and Comox buildings at St. Paul’s Hospital
Reason:
PHC Physical Plant Electrical will be conducting their annual generator load testing as per CSA. This will mean the normal power will be momentarily interrupted twice that day. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. This will not affect the tower. Be aware that the hospital will be running on Generator power for the duration of the test period, but Hydro power will still be available if needed. No vital or delayed vital loads should be affected unless there are unforeseen issues.
Notes:
Please help us make this shutdown go as smoothly as possible and protect electrical equipment from electrical surges by observing the following:
On Friday November 19, 2021
Complete all work and return all samples to incubators, refrigerators, freezers (as required). Turn off all non-essential equipment and close all fume-hood sashes before leaving.
Please turn off all computer equipment when you leave the Center. All printers in affected areas will be turned off by IT by 16:00 Friday, and will be available again on Monday morning.
Do Not Perform overnight experiments. Labs in the affected areas may want to assign someone to check on unmonitored equipment, post shutdown.
If you have any questions before the outage please phone the Help Desk at 604-307-5872 or Dan Vikse Ext: 62706
