Temporary HVAC Project & Upfit

A 25,800-SF medical office building had a building-wide HVAC failure, with our team leading the emergency response to bring out a temporary exterior unit to supply HVAC support to the entire building while working with the HVAC technicians on potential repairs.  Ultimately, the whole system had to be replaced, which our team oversaw from start to finish.

Covid-19 Testing Sites

During the COVID pandemic, our team mapped their own course in an area no one had yet explored.  They oversaw the establishment of COVID testing sites, even building one from the ground up.  They worked with the State to get permitting and proceeded with construction outside existing medical office buildings in order to set up emergency testing site centers.

Replacing Pipes Over a Pool

At a Wellness Center, a Fire Marshal noted that all the piping over the indoor pool was too badly corroded and needed to be replaced.  With only one weekend to complete the project, The Senior OFS oversaw all the necessary steps from draining the pool to installing and painting the new piping.  Finally, the pool was refilled via fire hydrant, which required a special permit from the County.

Emergency Fire Panel Replacement

After inspection by the City of Morrisville, our team was tasked with the emergency job of replacing the faulty fire panels in two of the three buildings at a shopping center.  We coordinated with the State construction office, the vendor for the replacement, and tenants to obtain the necessary permits and approvals as well as mitigated interruption to the businesses.

Breakroom Upfit

Over the course of three days, our team completed a full demolition, including removal of cabinetry and walls, in order to build a staff break room at a medical office building.  This project entailed building walls and installing custom cabinetry to better suit the needs of the medical office staff.

Refrigerated Storage and Electrical Upfit

In 2021, team members designed and coordinated installation of a fenced-in storage facility within the warehouse area to house COVID vaccines and other medications.  This work involved a steel vendor installing fencing and electricians routing new electrical conduit to the area.  The electrical work required the addition of a new electrical panel as well as running circuits to provide stations with single-plug charging for the rechargeable equipment inside ambulances as well as other industrial tools like saws and drill presses. These changes allowed the building to serve the needs presented by the unforeseen pandemic and function at a level at which no one had previously planned.  Thanks to our team’s hard work the facility was able to continue providing its intended services as well as meet the new requirements introduced by COVID.

Hospice Drop Down Ceiling

In order to combat constant temperature control issues at a Hospice Care Facility, our team worked on the full dropdown ceiling installation that allowed for access to the VAV (variable air volume) boxes in each patient room.  This lets each room to be serviced individually and more conveniently.

Hospice Care Center HVAC Project

 At a managed hospice care center, our PM team led a coordinated effort to resolve ongoing HVAC issues stemming from poor design as well as put into place preventative measures to ensure proper operation going forward.  The facility had to be shut down for six days, which affected patients, their families, and staff, and our team felt the full weight of getting this project done right and done quickly to get the people back into the building.

In all, four separate vendors were required for the project.  Our engineers added dropdown ceilings as well as access panels to each patient room for convenient access to the HVAC equipment.  Heavy machinery and experienced technicians were brought in to work in an underground concrete-covered vault, which had to be dug up and then put back at the end of the project, which added landscaping to the scope of work.

Other work, such as floor refinishing and a top-down clean, that is often difficult to plan in a 24/7/365 was also completed.  Before the facility could re-open, an Infection Prevention and Safety Manager had to give the stamp of approval, and our team earned it.
