cKenneys completed an HVAC

overhaul for an Assurant office
tower, replacing a chiller plant
and the supporting air handling units (AHUs)
with no building downtime.

The Challenge
The insurance provider needed to remain operational while a rooftop chiller plant and AHUs
on each floor were replaced. The mechanical
room had significant space constraints for the

chiller plant and new AHUs had to be dismantled to fit through 36" doorframes. The building also required a complete controls retrofit
to increase visibility and energy savings.
The Solution
Using a crane over two consecutive weekends, McKenneys demolished the existing
chiller plant, then staged all the new material,
including prefabricated piping, for delivery to
the roof. Mezzanine level walls were removed,

then rebuilt, to accommodate the new equipment as it was installed. During multiple
weekends, the team also carefully organized
the new AHUs breakdown, delivery to each
floor, and reconstruction in the shortest
amount of time.
The Results
The new chiller plant, AHUs and system
controls were successfully installed with no
disruption to Assurants building occupants.
