McKenney's, Inc. Provides Design/Build Solution for a Cooling Tower Replacement Project in Charlotte
McKenney's, Inc. upgraded and enhanced cooling tower operation to improve system performance and lower energy costs at a nine-floor hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Atlanta, GA, February 23, 2015 (Newswire.com) - McKenney’s, Inc., the Southeast’s most trusted name in facility construction, operation and maintenance, upgraded and enhanced cooling tower operation to improve system performance and lower energy costs at a nine-floor hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The cooling tower had to be replaced with minimal disruption to the hotel and its guests. The project required expert planning, precise coordination of the sub teams and continual communication with the hotel’s management to remain on schedule.
To ensure a timely completion, the McKenney’s team created a logistics plan and execution strategy that ensured all materials and labor were on site as needed. They also worked with the hotel’s corporate controls team to pre-cool common areas prior to shut down, and then flushed large volumes of outdoor air in as needed to help keep temperatures at acceptable levels. In addition, a tower isolation redesign has eliminated future cooling disruptions by allowing one area to remain operational while other areas are being serviced.
