1. A
major Carolinas cable telecom-
munications company needed a
new 175,000-square-foot data
facility project completed in less than a year.
THE CHALLENGE
McKenney’s was responsible for an aggres-
sive project schedule that had a tight comple-
tion deadline for the size and scope of the
work. The project required management of
extensive materials, including sheet metal,
plumbing systems, mechanical piping and
custom pipe dollies.
THE SOLUTION
Using Building Information Modeling (BIM),
McKenney’s prefabricated and staged
80-90 percent of the mechanical piping in
advance of installation in order to save time
and money. The team custom fabricated
pipe dollies to handle two lengths (supply
and return) of prefabricated pipe and utilized
single pipe dollies to be able to move the
prefabricated pipe more easily. A high
capacity spider crane was employed to safely
and efficiently set the heaviest prefabricated
pipes onto the supports.
THE RESULTS
McKenney’s successfully completed the
project on schedule and on budget and was
hired to work on future expansion projects
by the customer.
