University Projects


University of Missouri, Columbia, MO
Power Plant Capacity Addition
This project consisted of the installation of new gas turbines and heat recovery steam generators combined with existing steam turbine generators.  The addition adds an electric-generating capacity of 27 MW and steam-generating capacity of 250,000 lb/hr of 950-psig steam.  The project also included a new 24,000 square foot building, control room, boiler feed pumps, gas compressors, chillers, cooling tower, and chilled water pumps for the new equipment.


University of Missouri, Columbia, MO
Miscellaneous projects and services include: 

  • DC Emergency Battery Backup Consolidation System

  • Combustion Turbine Cogeneration Feasibility Study and Schematic Design

  • Campus Power Plant Electrical System Upgrade

  • Boiler No. 12 Installation

  • 20-year Master Plan Study of Power Plant and Distribution Systems

  • Power Plant Chiller

  • Repair to Radial Brick Chimney

  • Power Plant Construction Switchgear Enclosure

  • 480-volt Switchgear Study

  • Evaluation of Boiler No. 12

  • 900-psi Gas and Oil Steam Generator

  • Electrical System Consultation

  • Gas-fired Boiler No. 12 Demolition and Procurement

  • Replace Emergency Power System

  • Two Low-load Boiler Replacement of Diesel Generators


University of Missouri, Columbia,  MO
Gas-fired Boiler Addition
Sega engineered the installation of a 220,000-lb/hr natural gas-fired boiler.  The project included the demolition of an existing boiler and replacement with the new package boiler.

University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA
Power Plant Expansion

Sega studied the technical and economic analysis of the new boiler and auxiliary equipment.  Sega was retained to provide engineering services in support of this project.  The multiple prime contract approach was used to purchase and construct the project.  There were five furnish-and-deliver equipment contracts, four installation contracts, and three service contracts.


University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS
Sega prepared a comprehensive analysis of the main campus electrical system for KU.  Major conclusions of Sega’s study that were accepted include:

  • Retire Existing 4160-volt Distribution System and Replace with a 12.47-kV System 

  • Develop a Looped Distribution System to Improve System Reliability 

  • Build a Substation on the West Campus to Take Advantage of More Favorable Rates

Other projects at the University include:

  • New Boiler No. 8 Installation

  • Dyche Hall Electrical Distribution Upgrade


Emporia State University, Emporia, KS
While most engineering on-call services agreements with the State of Kansas rotate every two to three years, Emporia State University has elected to utilize Sega continuously since 1988. Sega has performed energy studies and executed projects for 90% of the campus buildings. This has resulted in ESU moving from worst to first in utility dollars spent per gross square foot among Kansas Regents Schools. There have been 45 civil/structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering projects successfully completed over 10 Years.

Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS
Sega has provided miscellaneous engineering services relating to campus utilities for Kansas State University. The University has a central power plant, which produces steam and electricity to support the campus.

  • Utility Master Plan

  • Steam and Electric Production

  • Steam Distribution

  • Steam Line Replacement Design

  • Replacement of Low-pressure Steam Distribution Piping with High-pressure Steam Distribution Piping Located in Underground Concrete Tunnels


University of Nebraska,  Lincoln, NE
Sega has been a consultant and contractor for the University since 1986.  Our longevity at the University speaks to the quality of service we provide our clients.  Our work at the University has been mostly at the City and East Campus Power Plants.  Work includes controls, boilers, chillers, steam main, desuperheaters, and maintenance.  Keeping the plants efficient and reliable to serve the University’s current and future facilities is always our goal.


Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
Power Plant Energy Optimization Program
In 1985, Sega performed an energy study of the main campus power plant and the original west campus chiller plants.  It included performance testing of the boilers, gas turbine, steam turbine generators, steam absorption chillers, steam turbine and electric motor-powered centrifugal chillers, and the major auxiliaries including the water evaporators. 

In 1997, Sega once again converted the energy optimizing mathematical model program to a spreadsheet-based system and updated the model to incorporate recent changes to the power plant.
