Warehouse Heat-Reduction Ventilation Project Overview

Owned the full lifecycle of this project, connecting capital planning, engineering, delivery and operating readiness. Heat released from the boiler room affected the adjacent warehouse environment. The ventilation scope connected the heat source, an exterior discharge path and the electrical provisions needed to operate the system.

Workstream: Steam and Boiler System Modernization

The Operating Context

Operating Context

Heat released from the boiler room affected the adjacent warehouse environment. The ventilation scope connected the heat source, an exterior discharge path and the electrical provisions needed to operate the system.

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.

Purpose & Engineering Scope

Purpose and Scope

Business Purpose

Technical scope and recorded applications

Building Envelope, Ventilation and Site Protection

Facility work covered enclosure rehabilitation, ventilation, drainage, erosion control and electrical-room protection. Scopes brought together access, scaffolding, structural and civil interfaces, weather barriers, ductwork, fans, electrical feeds and interlocks. Coordinated the disciplines around the operating needs of the facility.
