Construction
A Senior Executive is assigned to each project. He or she is aware of every phase and step of the project and can advise and inform a client promptly and accurately almost moment by moment. A Senior Executive is not the only member of top management involved in a client project. Since management needs the latest in information technologies to do its jobs, it’s not surprising that Pierpont has state-of-the-art systems to support it. For instance, a sophisticated computer tracking system coordinates planning, progress, purchasing, scheduling, and the efficient deployment of work crew. It is our experience that proper planning, strong supervision, and adherence to control procedures are the key to taking complex projects with aggressive time frames and yielding successful results.
The key to our management plan is as follows:
- Mobilization
- On-Site Staff
- Project Monitoring/Scheduling
- Documentation Control
- Accounting Control
- Executive Review
Upon award of contract, a project team is immediately assembled, and a meeting is held to review the documents and administrative procedures. Pierpont always takes immediate action and gets each and every project off on the right foot.
Project Case Studies
Secondary Condenser Water System – 767 Fifth Ave., New York NY
Description: The intent of this project was to add a secondary condenser water system to this historic building. Pierpont was contracted to install a new secondary condenser water plant on the 36th floor, and new secondary condenser water risers with future taps at each floor. This task included tying into the building existing primary condenser water piping on the 36th Floor and adding (2) new 6,000 GPM Plate & Frame Heat Exchangers with accompanying pump sets. Large Heat Exchangers were brought to the 36th floor in sections and constructed in place by our teams. New riser pipes were then installed from 36th floor down to the 3rd floor, and up to the 50th floor of the building.
Project Highlight: Pierpont coordinated with the general contractor to develop a logistic plan that included the installation of pipe risers up to 18” in diameter through a building shaft without disturbing the building’s existing tenants.
Amenities Suites Fit-Out – 1221 Avenue of the Americas, New York NY
Description: In 2014, Pierpont worked with a client whom signed a new lease for 440,000 square feet at the giant tower, also known as the McGraw-Hill Building at 1221 Avenue of the Americas. Pierpont was contracted for the installation of HVAC systems on the “Amenities” floors, which included a new cafeteria, fitness center, locker rooms, meeting areas, and laundry area.
Project Highlight: On this project, Pierpont installed several complex systems, including a new PRV steam station, kitchen exhaust hoods, shower exhaust, laundry exhaust, make-up air, chilled water fan-coil units, and kitchen refrigeration equipment. In addition to standard galvanized ductwork, the duct systems installed for this portion of the project included welded black-iron, stainless steel, and aluminum ductwork.
Computer Room HVAC System – 599 Lexington Ave, New York NY
Description: The expansion and renewal to 151,824-square-foot located on floors 23 through 29 of 599 Lexington Ave was one of the largest real estate deals in the city during 2015. Pierpont was contracted to install new HVAC systems for all floors including new supplemental AC units, Computer Room AC units in IDF and server rooms, and new air-distribution duct-work to all new office space.
