3. McKenney’s made significant upgrades to the mechanical systems
infrastructure—including chillers, piping and pumps—without
interrupting data center operations.

4. The Challenge
Critical equipment in the facility had to remain active, with optimal
redundancy at all times. The engineer and McKenney’s had to develop a
detailed sequence of construction procedures.
The Solution
McKenney’s built a large steel platform in sections above the existing
chillers. Each chiller was individually lifted to its section on the platform
where it was reconnected quickly using prefabricated piping connections.
Once startup and commissioning was completed on the relocated chiller,
the team began to work on the next chiller.

customer expressed satisfaction with the quality and expediency of the
work.
