Reminds me of project where heat reject from shopping strip A/C was under parking lot. Did it keep pavement clear of snow? Some years maybe.

Then a well known engineer from those days tried to store snow for A/C.

Now that is a JOB....and a great one at that!

Knees hurt from looking at that....is there stand up and use tool to install cable ties for the pex?

Was concrete pumped up from ground level? I see what might be mud piping/hoses.

Are there 4 boilers?

EzzyT

@JUGHNE thanks.
I have 3 PexGun tools that tie the tubing to the mesh. Back and knees where definitely in pain for awhile after. Yes concrete was pumped from street up 8 stories. 

EzzyT

@dko yes four boiler 2 in each mechanical room.

Wow!  Outstanding job.  What is the BTU p.s.f ?  Where is that job? Jersey City?  Mad Dog 🐕 

EzzyT

@Mad Dog_2 thanks, I think about 70 btus per square foot.
12th Ave Manhattan right across the street from the Intrepid.

Very Nice, That's quite a job. 8 stories up takes a lot of planning especially in NYC

Beautiful work, what type of fittings did you use for the large copper piping?

EzzyT

@EBEBRATT-Ed thanks, working in any major city is a challenge.

EzzyT

@PC7060 propress fittings were used. 

PC7060

@EzzyT- thanks. My ProPress tops out at 1-1/4” so I’m not familiar with the configuration of the large connections. Looks similar to the MegaPress. 

Amazing work.

Mad Dog_2

HTPs....Nice...how big each?  Mad Dog 🐕 

EzzyT

@Mad Dog_2 @Erin Holohan Haskell thanks you.
The east mechanical room boilers are 1 million btus each and the west mechanical room boilers are 650k btus each 

Mad Dog_2

Neat as a pin, love the Webstone Flanges, Rubber Kindorf Straps.  You guys get
an A ++...don't get no betta, Bro! That needs to be in the Next Mr Pex brochure (hint hint) and P & M.  Magazine  Mad Dog

This is the problem, you make it look so easy I may try to tackle one that big... but I should not. Really nice job.

EzzyT

@Mad Dog_2 thanks much appreciated, yes that would be nice.

@Tom_133 I wouldn’t say anything one does should be easy, always willing to take on a challenge. If you do decide to take on a job anywhere that size let me know I’ll be willing to make the trip up.
Thanks.

Dan Foley

Looks great!!

That is beautiful workmanship. Well done.

Alan (California Radiant) Forbes

Fantastic workmanship! It must have taken a day to purge all those loops.

Was it design/build or did you have mechanical plans to work from?

The mechanical rooms looks tight. Did you have any say on how large they should be or did you have to work with what they gave you?

EzzyT

@Dan Foley thanks so much for referring this job to me much appreciated.
@clammy it’s always a pleasure to work along side of you. There definitely was a lot issues we had to overcome on this one but we still knocked out of the park. 

@Allislandradiant thanks.
@mars_6 thanks.
@Alan (California Radiant) Forbes there’s 7 manifold stations on this project that are split between 2 mechanical rooms.
We pump in demineralized water and the glycol at the same time with my flush cart.
We purged the system first with the boiler and system pumps running to get fluids mixing for some time. Then we purged the loops with the flush cart.
It took a day for each mechanical to do that scope of work. 

It was designed/build but we had to make some changes in order for everything late out how it did.
I informed the contruction management company on the sizes of the mechanical rooms need to be and of course there was some push back.
My approach to every job is that there has to be always going to be enough room for maintenance, repairs and equipment swap out in the future.
