cKenney’s provided a new
decentralized domestic water
system at a maximum-security
correctional facility in Bessemer, Alabama.
THE CHALLENGE
With no up-to-date drawings to indicate cur-
rent service and systems locations, McKenney’s
developed the energy conservation measures
(ECM) to decentralize the existing hot and
cold domestic water system and installed new
­distribution piping. The facility remained
active throughout the project, requiring
detailed planning, maximum prefabrication,
and minimal disruptions to water service.
THE SOLUTION
The McKenney’s team leveraged its knowl-
edge of correctional facility operations, along
with its turnkey design/build delivery methods
to meet NORESCO’s ROI requirements.
McKenney’s also conducted detailed site
surveys, built full-scale mock-ups, maximized
off-site prefabrications, and minimized
outages to reduce operational disruptions.
THE RESULTS
Precise planning, prefabrication and onsite
coordination minimized installation time.
­Overall, McKenney’s was able to develop the
ECM and meet the ROI goals of NORESCO
while replacing both the hot and cold domes-
tic water systems with no service disruption.
