RobsonWoese Inc provided Verizon with project team leadership to fast track a $2.3 million dollar Design / Build project involving the installation of a 600-ton chiller and infrastructure to supplement an existing high-rise building chilled water system. Services included the following:
  • Complete mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural and architectural systems design to integrate a new high performance chiller system with the existing chiller system to functionally and continually serve all mission critical equipment areas throughout Verizon's main Central Office located in Buffalo New York.

  • RobsonWoese Inc was responsible for the commissioning process and making the final recommendations to the Owner regarding functional performance of the commissioned new systems. The functional testing program objectively verified that the new system performed interactively in accordance with the Project Documents. Written, repeatable test procedures were prepared specifically for each system module, and were used to functionally test components and systems in all modes of operating conditions specified for testing. These tests were documented to clearly describe the individual systematic test procedures, the expected systems response or acceptance criteria for each procedure, and the actual response or findings.

COMMISSIONING SERVICES

The basic purpose of building commissioning is to provide documented confirmation that building systems function in compliance with criteria set forth in the Project Documents to satisfy the owner's operational needs. Our commissioning team of professional engineers with years of design and construction administration experience, coupled with HVAC contractors, temperature control engineers / technicians, and occupational health and safety professionals provide complete commissioning services from the start of the design process through to the final completed commissioning report.
