3. McKenney’s assembled and installed a modular lab with customized
HVAC conditioning equipment and more for a federal laboratory.

4. The Challenge
A federal agency required an enclosure that could maintain precise
conditions—within tolerances of ±0.2°C temperature and ±0.5% relative
humidity—for highly sensitive experiments. In an existing building
with limited square footage, the McKenney’s team had to coordinate and
manage design and installation for several trades outside the typical scope of
mechanical contracting to complete the lab.
The Solution
As the prime contractor, McKenney’s completely designed, built and installed
the mechanical, plumbing and controls systems. The McKenney’s team also
created a coordinated schedule to manage a wide range of subcontractors
for electrical, fire protection, epoxy flooring, ACT ceilings, cabinetry and
doors. Project management and equipment designers met regularly with
building owners, engineers, agency personnel and others to monitor
progress and revise the schedule as needed.

5. The Results
The climate-controlled laboratory enclosure was completed on-time, on
budget and met all the tenant’s exact tolerance specifications for the
facility while minimizing the impact in the existing occupants of the
building.
