Stronghold worked with Calleguas to construct the Wellfield Emergency Generator Building. The building features 5 high quality, 2MW Emergency Backup Power Generators. In the event of a power outage from SCE, these Emergency Generators have the ability to immediately turn the power service back on to the entire facility. This project was able to be constructed and completed despite the challenges of the global pandemic with COVID-19. The 5 generators are housed in a building that features sound attenuating systems as not to disrupt the neighboring communities.
