Location: Belvidere Assembly Plant
Customer: Daimler Chrysler
Project: HVAC Renovation
Start Date: 5/1/04 Completion Date: 7/1/04
DaimlerChrysler had the unique
task of taking an existing penthouse with four
steam HVAC units and converting them to direct
fired natural gas units. TMI was called to conduct
a project feasibility survey and perform the
preliminary engineering. The survey results
showed that refurbishing the existing penthouse
was a more cost effective alternative than replacing
it.
Using local sheet metal,
piping and electrical contractors to perform
the work allowed TMI to operate as a General
Contractor and provide Technical Expertise
during the reconstruction process. TMI Factory
Technicians were onsite for start-up and commissioning.
The upfront planning and
coordination resulted in a successful project
for the customer. There were no injuries,
overtime or lost production in the two months
it took to complete the HVAC renovation and
the project was completed on time and within
the set budget. TMI’s flexibility to
work with contractors around the globe provides
customer service that sets TMI apart from
the competition.
