3. McKenney’s installed multiple mechanical systems and provided
design/assist support at the BB&T Ballpark–Home of the Charlotte
Knights.
4. The Challenge
With active city streets on all four sides of the property, the stadium had
no on-site storage. Congested ceiling heights also posed issues for
McKenney’s and joint venture partner Superior Mechanical Systems. In
addition, McKenney’s was tasked with maintaining a tight budget
through a design/assist process.
The Solution
To overcome storage and access shortfalls, materials were stored at
McKenney’s and delivered to the site as needed during non-rush hour
times with traffic control assistance. Building Information Modeling (BIM)
was used to accommodate ceiling heights and help prevent conflicts with
other trades. To reduce costs, the McKenney’s design team
recommended unit re-configuration and flexible variable refrigerant flow
technology.
