3. Georgia Tech constructed a state-of-the-art basketball arena to enhance
its existing coliseum, built in 1956. The new arena included 2,000 feet of
mechanical piping and 2,500 feet of ductwork.

4. The Challenge
McKenney’s needed to account for the existing building structure and
work within limited floor space. The coliseum was a circular building,
which made mechanical field locations and dimensioning a challenge.
The Solution
The project team took a laser scan of the existing building for use in the
Building Information Modeling (BIM) process and also used Trimble GPS
technologies for trade layouts. All major mechanical components
were prefabricated to limit onsite work. Local knowledge and
engineering expertise were used to assist the design engineer
and coordinate multiple trades.
The Results
McKenney’s significantly helped the customer lower its budgeted costs
while maintaining system integrity and performance. By leveraging its
detailing and shop capabilities, McKenney’s helped complete the project
on schedule with minimal field trim or call-ins.
