Surgical Tower Chilled Water Plant Replacement
A surgical suite that warms by a few degrees stops operating. The old chillers were replaced without it ever happening.
LocationColumbia, SCEvery hour of construction inside an operating hospital is taken from patient care. The work has to take as little as possible, give it back exactly when agreed and treat infection control as a hard rule, never a footnote.
The chilled water plant serving a hospital’s surgical tower was past the end of its life, and two of its four chillers were already unreliable. Every operating room, sterile core and recovery bay depended on it.
Swapping chillers, cooling towers and pumps meant moving through several temporary configurations, each of which narrowed the margin that kept the surgical environment in tolerance.
The whole job, on one line.
Start to finish, as the schedule tells it. For work still in progress, the bar moves with today's date.
Our approach, phase by phase.
The same disciplined sequence we bring to every engagement, shaped around what this project needed most.
The difference we made
Measured the only way that matters: did the project land where we said it would.
Temperature and humidity in the ORs stayed within tolerance through every switchover.
Each switchover ran from a minute-by-minute script, walked through in advance with facilities and perioperative leadership.
The tower now runs with N+1 cooling, where before it ran on luck.
What we brought to it
Hour-by-hour shutdown schedules that shorten outage windows and return critical assets to service safely and on time.
