EMPR Chilled Water Plant

This project involved the replacement of the chilled water plant serving a three-story administration building. The scope of work included the installation of a new 950-ton chiller, the fabrication and installation of chilled water and condensate piping, and the assembly and installation of new air handling units.

Project DETAILS

• The project began with the demolition of the existing chiller, along with associated piping, valves, and air handling units.
• Moore then installed a new 950-ton chiller, fabricated and installed new chilled water and condensate piping, and assembled and installed new air handling units.
• Once of the main challenges of the project was the limited space in and around the building. The oversized chiller exceeded the dimensions of the existing building openings, and required a crane lift over a portion of the building and active pipes. Moore developed meticulous lift and demolition plans to overcome these challenges.
• Moore fabricated custom skids to ensure precise positioning during the lift and safe transport of the equipment once inside the building. The demolition plan involved carefully removing a section of the exterior brick wall large enough to accommodate the chiller, with all brick preserved for reinstallation to maintain the building’s original architectural design.
