cKenney’s provided a turnkey
design/build solution to replace
an outdated chiller plant in the
operating classroom complex of a government
training center.
THE CHALLENGE
The specified chillers were much larger than
the training center’s existing units, would not
fit in the existing central plant’s configuration,
and jeopardized the project’s timing and bud-
get. Since training was in session, chilled water
service could not be interrupted, and tempo-
rary chillers were beyond the budget scope.
THE SOLUTION
McKenney’s implemented the turnkey design
solution in phases and used existing central
plant equipment during new central plant
construction to minimize shutdowns and
stay within budget. A redesign of the central
plant was necessary to accommodate the
new equipment, and installation took
place during four complicated, prolonged
shutdowns on weekends.
THE RESULTS
Although the scope of work dramatically
changed, McKenney’s executed and com-
pleted this complicated turnkey energy project
on time and within budget without interrupting
chilled water service. The energy savings now
achieved will pay for the project costs.
