Value Delivered
Heritage Mechanical Services provided mechanical and HVAC solutions on a fast-tracked schedule for this new three story, 135,000-square-foot cancer treatment facility.
The highlight of the project was a highly advanced chilled water system that will provide processed reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) water. The chilled water serves a super conducting cyclotron particle accelerator, which is key equipment for proton therapy.
Additionally, the rest of the HVAC system we provided will help promote indoor air quality and energy efficiency throughout the building. Ultimately, we were able to complete all work on time and within budget, even with a rapid schedule.
