AlfaTech was selected to perform design construction management services for the replacement and upgrade of the B55 WFI system. The state-of-the-art replacement WFI system consisted of a single HWFI loop with multiple POU heat exchangers. WFI temperatures at the POUs were controlled using HMI panels. The firm scope of work included: interviews with the users to determine WFI consumption; production of complete WFI design-built and demo bid packages; procurement of owner- furnished components; selection of a design-built contractor; and management of the final design and construction effort.

Tenant Improvement

The goal of this project was to improve occupant comfort and the energy profile of the nearly 100- year-old Building B14 which was being used by research team for critical future drug products. Project challenges included very limited capital available and architectural constraints of a building constructed before HVAC systems were invented such as low ceilings, and no interstitial space. The project team the Target Costing methodology to prioritize the design features in order to stay within budget as a result of early collaboration between the design team, the contractor, the site facility team and the end user. Project features included replacement of existing air handlers, replacement of windows to reduce heat gain and careful HVAC zoning within the space. The project required detailed implementation planning as the project was installed over several budget years.
