cKenney’s overcame obstacles
to install a process chiller and
industrial package cooling unit
at a packaging manufacturing plant.
THE CHALLENGE
The manufacturer’s cooling system was no
longer reliable. At the worksite, there was not
reasonable access to the plant’s rooftop to
install the new air handling unit (AHU) and
chiller on the side of the building. Also, careful
coordination was needed to install the package
unit and chiller simultaneously—with the plant’s
production levels dependent on chilled water.
THE SOLUTION
To gain access to the rooftop, the McKenney’s
team coordinated with a neighboring facility
and a local crane company to position a crane
on the neighboring property.To install the chiller,
McKenney’s met the customer’s last-minute
request to reconfigure the piping necessary
for other long-term maintenance and opera-
tion goals. Then, the team shut down the
­system during a short 36-hour window to
quickly disconnect and reconnect piping
­without significantly disrupting production.
THE RESULTS
By leveraging its design/build expertise and
coordination skills, McKenney’s completed
the installation on time and under budget
while exceeding the customer’s expectations.
