McKenney’s completed an HVAC overhaul for an Assurant officetower, replacing a chiller plant and the supporting air handling units (AHUs) with no building downtime.
The ChallengeThe insurance provider needed to remain operational while a rooftop chiller plant and AHUs on each floor were replaced. The mechanicalroom had significant space constraints for the chiller plant and new AHUs had to be dismantled to fit through 36" doorframes. The buildingalso required a complete controls retrofit to increase visibility and energy savings.
The SolutionUsing a crane over two consecutive weekends, McKenney’s demolished the existing chiller plant, then staged all the new material, including prefabricated piping, for delivery to the roof. Mezzanine level walls were removed, then rebuilt, to accommodate the new equipmentas it was installed. During multiple weekends, the team also carefully organized the new AHUs breakdown, delivery to each floor, and reconstruction in the shortest amount of time.
