cKenney’s helped revive a
multi-stage project—including
a central district water plant—
for the Buckhead Atlanta luxury destination.
THE CHALLENGE
Among the many complexities involved with the
project, the central water plant, ductwork and
plumbing needed to serve three parcels span-
ning one-and-a-half blocks on a busy urban
street, each with a different completion sched-
ule. This was to be accomplished using equip-
ment that had been stored for over three years.
THE SOLUTION
To keep everything on track, McKenney’s
enlisted Building Information Modeling tech-
nology for virtual construction, coordination
and clash detection between the trades. The
team then installed the water plant along with
prefabricated plumbing and underground pip-
ing at various stages of the project to supply
the infrastructure for the entire development.
McKenney’s tested and evaluated the dormant
equipment—and made updates and repairs
—to return them to like-new performance.
THE RESULTS
Despite the change in owner and designs,
staggered completion schedules and the
multiple city blocks scope, the project is
progressing as scheduled, on budget and
is operating per design expectations.
