THE CUSTOMER
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The age of the building and its historical significance to the University created areas in the building that could not be changed and would have to be worked around. Due to limited space in the ceilings and the inability to lower any of those ceilings, routing became difficult in congested areas. Existing steel in the roof of the building caused clashes against the new air handling units.
THE SOLUTION
During the coordination process, ConCad Engineering could identify original architectural features that could not be changed and the HVAC would need to be redesigned. Our team could catch these areas early, we were able to avoid them altogether and come up with a solution to route around before it became an issue for the installers. Since the ceiling space was extremely limited and dropping an entire ceiling could not happen, ConCad Engineering came up with solutions where only small portions of the ceilings would need to be lowered, allowing for all the trades to route inside a soffit keep its desired height. In the roof coordination being able to see exactly where the existing steel and new HVAC equipment would go helped to design a layout for the equipment.
