McKenney's installed mechanical systems at a high-rise office building in downtown Charlotte that faced a tight schedule for completion. Extensive planning and coordination allowed McKenney's to sequence the work and overcome equipment issues to finish installation on time, allowing the owners to lease spaces as scheduled. The project team worked creatively within the compressed timeline for startup and commissioning of key mechanical equipment.

in downtown Charlotte.
THE CHALLENGE
The McKenney’s team worked with the
­general contractor and a team of subs to
bring a signature high-rise office building—
with its unique design, unbeatable location
and high-profile neighbors—to life. The key
mechanical equipment needed to be installed
towards the end of construction which meant
the schedule would be tight, startup and
­commissioning would need to be condensed
and the team needed to be creative about
finding a solution to the compacted timeline.
In addition, ­equipment issues impacted the
ability to fly materials to various floors and
the team was spread throughout the building,
hampering workflow and negatively impacting
overall schedule control.
THE SOLUTION
Extensive planning, sequencing of the work and
coordinating with the controls contractor put
the project schedule back on track and the team
moved towards startup and commissioning
within the tight timeline. Finally, a finishing
crew tied up loose ends after installation.
THE RESULTS
The project was delivered on time—allowing
the owners to lease space on schedule.
