Upgrading Kauai's lifeline.

Wilcox Medical Center, Kauai's largest medical facility and Level II trauma center, desperately needed to replace its 30-year-old backup generators that served as a critical lifeline for the island's residents. Layton carefully orchestrated the complex project by adding a second floor to the existing central utility plant to house three new 1,000 KW emergency generators, along with paralleling switchgear and transfer switches. The new system had to be fully operational before removing the old generators, guaranteeing continuous emergency power for patients and the community.
