This project was a MATOC design build project that we teamed up on with United Excel. This was an existing hospital that was going through a major remodel, the project was bid and awarded in October 2012. We spent 12 months in design and phasing and started work at the end of 2013. The remodel touched 65% of the hospital, we worked on all 4 floors of the hospital and all of the mechanical rooms. The work was accomplished in 19 phases including R&R of 8 operating rooms while keeping 6 existing OR’s in operation at all times. All of the staff in the affected areas needed to be relocated to other temporary spaces during the various remodel phases. Work included med gas, area alarms and master alarms to be relocated, new AHU’s installed and reworking 11 existing AHU units with new motors and coils and VFDs. This was also a LEED silver project.

WALLACE F. BENNETT FEDERAL BUILDING

Owner: GSA

Architect: GSBS

Engineer: Colvin Engineering

Location: Salt Lake City, UT

General Contractor: Big-D Construction

Completion Date: 2002

This project was a renovation of the existing eight story office building upgrading the seismic design of the building. An energy efficient curtain wall system was constructed around the existing building. The project required all of our employees involved with the project to clear an FBI background check to be able to work on the project. Security was in effect in the building during construction as the building remained in operation during construction. This required extra coordination and work plans so as to not disrupt the building operations and occupants. Our scope of work included the remodeling of the existing mechanical room and the extension of the HVAC and plumbing systems as a result of the added space on each floor from the curtain wall construction. The project was completed within budget and schedule.

This project was a competitive bid project. It consisted of removing and replacing two large pumps, valve piping, motors and drive shafts from the dry dock pump room. Pumps were approximately forty feet below the motors and were connected with steel drive shafts. All old equipment had to be cut into pieces to be removed. An overhead trolley system was designed and installed to remove those components. This project was in a highly sensitive area where special clearances were necessary. All equipment and material for the project had to be onsite before work could be started.
