Thinking, Delivering On-the-fly - Data Center Mechanical Installation
1
T he McKenney’s team installed piping, plumbing and HVAC systems for a new data center in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. THE CHALLENGE On a very tight schedule, the team had to devise a plan to install 24-inch piping mains in a deep trench below a 48-inch raised floor. The team was also tasked with leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination for the building, but with no job trailers space on site, the BIM effort had to be done remotely. THE SOLUTION To stay on schedule, much of the pipe was prefabricated and staged on multiple flatbed trailers. Due to the elevation changes between finished concrete, the McKenney’s team developed a unique rigging plan to load the piping into the trench and safely place large pieces. To ensure precise collaboration on the BIM effort, the coordination team was housed at the McKenney’s Charlotte office near the project site. THE RESULTS The data center owner was impressed with the amount of pipe fabrication, the BIM effort, the project speed and the team’s budget and schedule adherence.
