Navigating Safety Obstacles - Installation of Roof top Units
- 1. Navigating Safety Obstacles
Despite tough safety issues,
McKenney’s successfully installed
roof top units along with a chilled
water supply and return pipe system at a
medical center kitchen.
THE CHALLENGE
Piping had to be carefully installed through
the boiler plant, into a crawl space with
asbestos warning labels, up through the
floor and across the ceiling of the main
switchboard room into the kitchen. New
roof top units (RTUs) were very large and
heavy. During the RTU installation lift, extreme
precision was needed as there was only
18 inches of rigging space clearance.
THE SOLUTION
The McKenney’s team conducted pre-work
hazard analysis and training to keep the job
moving and installers safe. McKenney’s,
the general contractor and the engineer
developed a crane lift plan for the RTUs.
Supplemental structural supports were added
and equipment was relocated to facilitate a
safe installation.
THE RESULTS
The project was completed safely with mini-mal
schedule adjustment or additional costs,
giving the medical center owner confidence
they had selected the right provider.
