cKenney’s replaced 12 roof-
mounted air handling units at
the Cobb Galleria Centre while
battling stifling heat and a daunting deadline.
THE CHALLENGE
The convention center used 12 chilled water
air handling units to cool more than 320,000
square feet of exhibition, ballroom and
meeting space. After 22+ years, the outdated
systems were overmatched during peak periods.
McKenney’s was selected to replace them
during downtime in the summer. Sweltering
temperatures, tight deadlines and precise
scheduling turned up the heat on the project.
THE SOLUTION
McKenney’s Service, along with its Automa-
tion and Control Solutions teams and the
­project engineers, custom-built roof top
units (RTUs) to meet customer specifications.
All piping was prefabricated in McKenney’s
offsite pipe shop to simplify work on-site and
meet quick turnaround requirements. The
project culminated in an early morning week-
end helicopter lift to put the new RTUs in place.
THE RESULTS
The team completed the project on time,
on budget and within a 12-week deadline.
­McKenney’s is now the single-source service
provider for the Cobb Galleria Centre’s con-
trols and HVAC systems.
