AFE-ready ventilation scope — 5000 CFM exhaust fan

Engineering scope and design basis

Scoped a boiler-room heat exhaust project to reduce shipping warehouse temperature.

Defined a ventilation scope intended to route boiler-room heat outside the shipping warehouse.

The heat source needed to be routed outside rather than released into the warehouse envelope.

Improved warehouse heat-removal readiness, measured by a 5000 CFM exhaust fan and insulated duct path from boiler-room wall to exterior discharge, by coordinating ductwork, fan, grille, cabinet, hangers, lift access, and electrical shutoff.

5000 CFM exhaust fan; insulated spiral ductwork; electrical supply and shutoff; optional exterior wall grille.

Scoped the boiler-room ventilation path for the AFE-ready package.

Scoped the duct adapter for the AFE-ready package.

Scoped duct supports for the AFE-ready package.

Scoped the exhaust-fan assembly for the AFE-ready package.

Scoped the exterior-discharge components for the AFE-ready package.

Scoped electrical isolation for the AFE-ready package.

Project ownership and delivery context

Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.

Developed the 5,000 CFM exhaust-fan and insulated-ductwork scope, coordinated feeds and disconnects, and evaluated the exterior-wall grille arrangement. The resulting definition brought duct routing, installation access and utility connections together in an executable capital package.
