T
he McKenney’s team worked on
a series of HVAC and domestic hot
water improvements for three sites
in Georgia’s state prison system.
THE CHALLENGE
The team had to convert outdated systems
and provide revitalized, energy efficient
solutions while maintaining standard
­conditions for the inmates. Multiple trade
crews required precise coordination by the
­McKenney’s team to stay on schedule while
in an active prison environment. Safety was
also a high priority while working in dark,
damp and ­confined spaces.
THE SOLUTION
The McKenney’s team installed new steam
to hot water heat exchangers, piping, fan
coil units, ducts and air distribution for 920
inmates, including two maximum security cell
blocks (240 inmates). At the other two prisons,
steam boilers were replaced with condensing
boilers to serve the facilities’ needs for heating
and DHW. Other improvements included a
chiller/cooling tower replacement, DDC controls
systems and electrical infrastructure. To keep
workers safe, the team followed protocols for
emergency egress procedures, air monitoring,
communication and lighting. Most of the assem-
blies were prefabricated and work was pre-
planned using three-week look-ahead schedules.
THE RESULTS
The prisons now have highly energy efficient
HVAC and domestic hot water systems.
