cKenney’s designed and
installed a prefabricated
rooftop chiller enclosure for a
prominent office building in Atlanta, Georgia.
THE CHALLENGE
A recent data center expansion required
additional chiller capacity. The expansion was
located in a downtown office building without
adequate space to add chillers. Because
pre-manufactured enclosures installed on
the roof presented their own challenges in
terms of structural requirements, costs and
schedules, the McKenney’s team was tasked
with creating a customized solution without
compromising the budget and timetable.
THE SOLUTION
McKenney’s proposed to design, fabricate and
install a large rooftop enclosure that met the
owner’s specifications while accommodating
the schedule. Our seamless coordination with
the entire team allowed the owner to have
more input on the features of the enclosure
and the owners were able to make last-minute
changes without compromising the schedule.
THE RESULTS
The 35,000 pound chiller enclosure was
installed on the roof in less time and for
less cost than a pre-manufactured enclosure.
Now, Equinix has additional chiller capacity
for its larger, refurbished data center.
