cKenney’s installed a full-service
HVAC system at Polk Medical
Center, a new greenfield critical
care facility built in Cedartown, Georgia.
THE CHALLENGE
Cold, wet winter weather posed significant
challenges for installing the facility’s roof
and subsequent interior HVAC rough-ins. The
roof required certain temperatures before it
could be installed, which in turn delayed the
installation of interior ductwork and piping.With
no flexibility in the predetermined completion
date, McKenney’s was forced to adjust its
schedule to meet the owner’s requirements.
THE SOLUTION
The team overcame schedule fluctuations
through extensive planning, collaboration and
expert logistics. With the aid of Trimble GPS
technologies, the team planned and sequenced
all work with the general contractor and other
trade subcontractors to complete the rough-in
as quickly as possible.They prefabricated HVAC
system materials and coordinated their delivery
based on the shifting roof installation schedule.
THE RESULTS
McKenney’s completed the HVAC installation
on time—despite the domino effect created
by inclement weather—which helped the
medical center open its doors ahead of the
original schedule.
