The 31-story condominium building on Chicago's Gold Coast is one of the city's most prestigious addresses, so it's appropriate that the owner came to OMS for a new HVAC system. Our 35 years of experience and 360 degree detailed analysis of our customer's needs paid off once again.
The first challenge was to remove the 30 year-old existing boiler and replace it with six efficient, contemporary 2000 MBH Aerco boilers. We completely re-piped the boiler room to accommodate the new system and installed new flues.
Next, our professionals removed the existing make-up air unit from the mechanical room and replaced it, reconnecting the ductwork and piping.
Finally, we removed the existing roof-mounted cooling tower, modified the existing roof supports to accept our new air-cooled chiller, and installed the chiller using a helicopter to reach the 3100 foot height. Naturally, we coordinated with the City of Chicago to ensure that all permits were secured and the streets were closed during the installation.
Yet another OMS success story, made possible by our unique team of HVAC professionals.
