World Trade Center System to Tap Hudson River

摘要

The New York Times posted April 6 that construction is nearing completion of a pipeline that will deliver Hudson River water to the World Trade Center for cooling. Up to 30,000 gpm will be delivered via the pipeline to the center's chiller plant and then discharged back into the river. Due to come on line in late 2011, the $200 million chiller plant will serve the exhibition halls of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, the Transportation Hub and its passageways, shopping concourses, vehicle security checkpoints and, if built, a performing arts center.
