Expansion of AVL Hamilton’s facility to approximately 235,000, with the addition of Plant D. Plant D, a 25,600 square foot facility is designed to support growing customer demand and large-scale projects. This new plant adds six monthly production spots to AVL’s manufacturing schedule, significantly increasing throughput and reducing lead times.

Plant D is equipped with four 35-tonne cranes, allowing the team to safely handle and assemble some of the industry’s largest and most complex enclosure systems. This investment not only enhances AVL’s heavy-lift capabilities but also solidifies its position as a leader in custom-engineered solutions for power and infrastructure.

We collaborated with our customer to design & build specialized energy storage system (ESS) for a wastewater treatment plant in the City of Santa Rosa, CA. Our customer created an ESS that would ensure 100% plant uptime by facilitating the seamless transition from the utility grid to the diesel gensets. In the event of a power grid failure, this compact 588 kW ESS outputs 2MW of power for 15 minutes. It was a pleasure to work with our customer on their latest project.

Our applications engineer overcame a huge challenge when the site was not large enough to support a standard 40-foot containerized ESS. Nuvation worked with us to build a compact 24-foot container that met all specifications. PCS integration and final testing were performed at Parker Hannifin – Energy Grid-Tie division. We look forward to future projects with Nuvation Energy.
