Renovation of a laboratory facility in Frankfort, Kentucky. Completed plans call for the renovation of a laboratory facility.

The Central Lab Central Utility Plant building houses the chilled water and steam production for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Centralized Labs. This project consists of the installation of two Owner Furnished / Contractor Installed, 875-ton centrifugal chillers. Additionally, the project includes replacing three of the Chilled Water System pumps, relocation of condenser water piping and adding a modified chilled water decoupling slip loop, controls and replacement electrical power wiring and conduit. Due to the placement of the machines and the desire to facilitate better servicing conditions, the project also includes certain architectural modifications, including adding two exterior overhead service doors and associated modifications to panel walls. The addition of exterior service pads for each door is also a requirement. The main natural gas entrance to the building must also be relocated to accommodate chiller removal. Since this is a critical operating facility, the work must be implemented in phases to provide continued cooling capabilities to the Labs.
