1. M
cKenney’s installed mechanical
systems and provided support
for room control systems at a
new hotel tower in Atlanta.
THE CHALLENGE
In addition to installing HVAC systems for a new
high-rise hotel, McKenney’s had to coordinate
the installation of an INNCOMTM
guestroom
automation system. However, before construc-
tion, the team first had to modify the original
design to meet budget parameters. Heavy
rains during building construction revealed
site drainage issues, requiring additional
structural work and jeopardizing the schedule.
THE SOLUTION
To safely and efficiently install mechanical sys-
tems, the team enlisted proven material han-
dling and layout procedures, automated building
layout technology and precise planning by fore-
men and the virtual construction team. When
site drainage issues presented delays, man-
power was reallocated to meet the compressed
schedule. The McKenney’s team coordinated
with the electrician to install, power up and test
the guestroom automation system in every room.
THE RESULTS
By collaborating with the project team on
design issues and navigating unforeseen
delays, McKenney’s kept the project on track
and on budget.
