Georgia Tech constructed a state-of-the-art basketball arena to enhance its existing

coliseum, built in 1956. The new arena included 2,000 feet of mechanical piping and 2,500 feet of ductwork.

The ChallengeMcKenney’s needed to account for the existing building structure and work within limited floor space. The coliseum was a

circular building, which made mechanical field locations and dimensioning a challenge.

The SoluTionThe project team took a laser scan of the existing building for use in the Building Information Modeling (BIM) process and also used Trimble GPS technologies for trade layouts. All major mechanical components were prefabricated to limit onsite work. Local knowledge and engineering expertise

were used to assist the design engineer and coordinate multiple trades.

The ReSulTSMcKenney’s significantly helped the customer lower its budgeted costs while maintaining system integrity and perform- ance. By leveraging its detailing and shop capabilities, McKenney’s helped complete the project on schedule with minimal field trim or call-ins.
