Manufacturing Facility Hits the Floor Running - Process Piping and HVAC System Installation
1. In only a few years, this flooring company
has become the largest residential sheet
vinyl provider in Europe, manufacturing
high quality flexible vinyl flooring. When
the company expanded its operations to
expansions effectively. As a result, the
system includes more than three miles
of piping—ranging from 3 inches to
30 inches in diameter—to heat and
cool the entire facility.
With multiple
mechanical packages
and scopes of work
being performed
concurrently, the project
required McKenney’s
to work in concert with
three other mechanical
contractors. Communi-
cation and teamwork
was also critical among
the several organiza-
tions from multiple
countries working on
the plant construction.
For example, the
McKenney’s project
team realized that the
design for the structure
in the central plant
didn’t account for up to
400,000 pounds of piping and water. They
contacted the general contractor and onsite
project manager immediately. Fortunately, it
was discovered before pipes were installed.
The McKenney’s team also leveraged its
prefabrication and shop drawing skills to
ensure the project was completed quickly, in
only about eight months. Just as important,
the 30-person team completed the work
without a single recordable safety incident.

the U.S., it wanted the manufacturing facility
to capture the innovative and progressive
spirit that sparked its rapid, steady growth.
Crews began to build the 468,000-square-
foot facility in Dalton, GA, late in 2009.
McKenney’s was selected to install the HVAC
system, including a massive chilled water
plant. Even though only 3,400 tons are used
currently, McKenney’s built a 5,100-ton-
