Hennigan Engineering was called upon to be part of the mitigation and “Root Cause Analysis” for a tritium release into the groundwater that occurred at a nuclear power station in the Eastern United States. Hennigan was a key participant in daily meetings with facility management at all levels as well as shareholders. Hennigan was responsible for drain system investigations, drain system clearing and the development of a detailed Report of Findings that was included in the facility’s Root Cause Analysis report to the NRC. Radioactive hydrogen is called tritium (³H). The NRC takes any release of tritium from a nuclear… Read More »
Hennigan Engineering Reveals Surprising Cost Saving Figures of Maintaining Chiller Efficiency Facility Managers, Maintenance Personnel and Engineers recognize the problems caused by scale in water systems; increased maintenance, unplanned shutdowns, premature replacement of equipment and higher energy costs. Thin layers of scale can form in a Chiller’s tubes, decreasing the efficiency (heat transfer) of the heat exchanger resulting in increased energy costs. The thermal conductivity of calcium carbonate is 4,000 times less than that of copper and therefore, even the thinnest coating acts as an insulator reducing the heat transfer, decreasing efficiency. Scale in the Chiller tubes causes an increase… Read More »

Boston, MA – June, 2015 Hennigan Engineering Company, Inc. was retained by a National Design/Build Contractor to perform Emergency Response Video Inspection and blockage removal from a municipal pipeline linked to their construction of an addition to an active hospital in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. The blockage came on unexpectedly during construction and was sufficient to cause back-up into active/occupied spaces within the hospital. Two other contractors failed to solve the problem after several days of trying, then Hennigan Engineering was called into the situation. The affected wings of the hospital were in imminent risk of being shut-down by local Public… Read More »
