The Proposed Project

This project consists of work execution, labor, materials/supplies and tools needed to ensure compliance of the air conditioning system of B365. Work includes but is not limited to the replacement of cooling units in three server rooms. Dismantling of indoor partitions will be necessary for their installation. The roof water tower, and related piping and pump will be dismantled. An outdoor concrete slab will be poured for the chiller and some paving will have to be redone. A new propylene glycol network will be installed (including pumps, plate exchangers, air separator, control valves, manual valves). Painting will be done for final restoration.
