Furnishing and installation of two high velocity, low leak commercial outside air control dampers for CPS’s Colman School.
challenge
Every project presents its own unique challenges, and our work with Chicago Public School’s Colman School was no different. Our crew was brought in for the furnishing and installations of air control dampers for the building. However, due to a pitched roof over the dampers, they would need to be installed horizontally, with one set five feet down into a shaft and one on top.
solution
Faced with such a rare setup, we took our time to scope out the area and develop a plan of attack. For this project, we leaned heavily on our all-star Safety Director, Monica Anderson, to conduct multiple site visits prior to installation to ensure everything went off without a hitch.
results
When the time came for installation, we furnished and installed a total of two sets of 54 sq. ft. of high velocity, low leak commercial outside air control dampers for the school with not a single hiccup along the way.
