Tennis Center at Crandon Park

🎾 Crandon Park Tennis Center — 750 kW / 938 kVA UPS System Engineering 

Engineer of Record: ECF Engineering Consultants Client: Crandon Park Tennis Center, Key Biscayne, Florida 

⚡ Project Overview 

ECF designed and delivered a robust electrical engineering solution for a 750 kW / 938 kVA Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system at the Tennis Center. This system guarantees uninterrupted power to critical infrastructure, mitigating voltage sags, surges, and outages that could disrupt event broadcasting, lighting, court systems, and facility operations. 

🔧 Key Technical Deliverables 

1. High-Capacity UPS with Static Bypass 

   • Engineered a centralized static-bypass UPS, delivering zero-transfer-time protection essential for continuous broadcast and control systems—aligned with top-tier UPS implementations in high-demand venues (Uptime Institute, facilitygateway.com). 

2. Comprehensive Switching & Distribution Design 

   • Designed load-rated and maintenance-rated disconnect switches, along with power distribution integration, offering modular reliability, operational flexibility, and future redundancy expansion (Uptime Institute). 

3. Seamless Site Integration & Modular Scalability 

   • Layouts were optimized to minimize installation downtime within an active sports venue, while the architecture allows future UPS augmentation per evolving load demands. 

4. Enhanced Platform Reliability for Events 

   • By buffering the facility from utility disturbances, the UPS system supports uninterrupted power for broadcasting, lighting control, and operational continuity during peak events (facilitygateway.com). 

📈 Market Comparison & Competitive Edge 

• Sports & Events Reliability Standards: 

  
  

  Like major sports venues in Europe (e.g., Glasgow European Championships), high-capacity UPS protection for broadcast and lighting systems is a common requirement during live events (UPS Power Services). 

• Mission-Critical Best Practices: 

  
  

  Following protocols used in data centers and industrial applications, ECF’s design incorporates redundancy, static bypass controls, and careful load management, parallel to deployments by firms like Jacobs and Uptime Institute (Uptime Institute, CSE Magazine). 

• Modular, Scalable Design Philosophy: 

  
  

  The adaptability of UPS modules and maintenance bypass aligns with trending N+1 and modular resilience standards in mission-critical power systems (Wikipedia). 

🏆 ECF’s Strategic Advantages 

🎯 Benefits for Stakeholders 

• Architects / AV Designers: Reliable power underpins lighting and broadcast plans in high-performance venues. 

• Developers / Facility Operators: Protects asset value, enhances event readiness, and simplifies maintenance planning. 

• Municipal & Venue Managers: Delivers infrastructure aligned with public event resilience, compliance, and safety standards. 

✅ Next Steps — Elevate Your Venue’s Power Resilience 

Modern venues require mission-critical electrical engineering to support lighting, broadcasting, and operational systems. ECF Engineering Consultants offers proven UPS solutions that enable uninterrupted service, future scalability, and peace of mind.
