Scope Of Work
The JD Bravo Company (Bravo) was selected by the GSA Region 3 to complete a bid-build replacement of four existing centrifugal chillers with three new high-efficiency chillers and related piping, pumps, and accessories
Bravo assembled a highly competent team to complete the construction of this logistically challenging project.
Notable features of this project include:
Challenging logistics as the chiller plant is located 30 feet below street level without elevator or vehicle ramp access.
All materials and equipment were delivered in component pieces and winched through overhead hatchways below to the mechanical room. Access to subbasement was so severely limited that mock-ups of larger equipment were constructed and test-loaded in simulation to verify the viability of use.
All work occurred while the courthouse was occupied.
Project completed in April 2020.
Project completed within a $1.9 million budget.
