3. McKenney’s helped revive a multi-stage project—including a central
district water plant—for the Buckhead Atlanta luxury destination.

4. The Challenge
Among the many complexities involved with the project, the central
water plant, ductwork and plumbing needed to serve three parcels
spanning one-and-a-half blocks on a busy urban street, each with a
different completion schedule. This was to be accomplished using
equipment that had been stored for over three years.
The Solution
To keep everything on track, McKenney’s enlisted Building Information
Modeling technology for virtual construction, coordination and clash
detection between the trades. The team then installed the water plant
along with prefabricated plumbing and underground piping 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.

5. 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.
