HOME PROJECT EXPERIENCE SERVICES ABOUT US SAFETY CAREER OPPORTUNITIES CONTACT DESIGN ASSIST Aligned Energy Tier III DataCenter Owner: Aligned Energy Engineer: Power Cool Location: West Jordan, UT Contract: $17,472,738.00 General Contractor: Okland Construction Size: 20 mw Completion Date: May 2019 Aligned Energy purchased a decommissioned semi-conductor plant that has been re-purposed into a co-location Data Center. The interior of the existing building was demolished to expose the structure and make room for the new white space and electric rooms. Aligned Energy’s proprietary mechanical equipment was utilized for the cooling of the whitespace. Conventional air-cooled chillers and AHU’s were utilized for the power room cooling. 3-D scanning of the existing building allowed for precise coordination of the new mechanical systems supplying the Tier 3 Data Center. We have completed 9 projects on campus totaling 20 MW. 6 of these projects were completed in a live data center under strict planning and protocols. Most of our work has been completed using the “Design Assist” method. Utilizing this method allowed us to prefabricate 80% of the piping and cut our install time. We were able to deliver 10 MW in 7 months from notice to proceed. University of Utah Ambulatory Care Complex Owner: DFCM Engineer: Van Boerum & Frank Location: SLC, UT Contract: $25,362,057.00 General Contractors: Jacobsen Construction Size: SqFt. 322,731 Completion Date: September 2019 This project is a Design Assist – FLCC project. We were awarded the project during design development phase. We have worked closely with Van Boerum & Frank engineers and project design team to complete construction documents within the FLCC. The new healthcare facility consists of eight stories above grade and houses a new hospital campus boiler plant below grade. The new building has been constructed on an extremely tight site, surrounded and connecting to existing hospital facilities. Prior to excavation and structural placement for the new facility, we relocated an existing steam boiler plant to accommodate the new building. Construction access has been limited to one confined area, shared with receiving and public access for existing facilities. All work has been performed with just in time deliveries, as no onsite laydown exists for the project. Utilities are shared to and from the ACC building and its surrounding campus. This has required rerouting of many utilities and tie-ins to an existing 24-hour facility that must remain in operation. This project will be completed on time and obtain LEED certification. Sunrise Hospital Campus Owner: Sunrise Mountainview Hospital & Medical Center Architect: DG Architecture Engineer: WSP / CCRD Location: Las Vegas, NV Contract: $ 28,733,424.00 General Contractors: Layton, Brycon, McCarthy Completion Date: October 2018 Since 2016 we have completed over 11 different projects on campus including 3 Design Assist delivery methods. In all we added 13 new air handlers and replaced 5 air handlers. Replacing the existing central plant in the same space as the old one was a challenge. We replaced the old chiller with new ones twice the size of the old one to accommodate the new building additions. The central plant work was accomplished in 7 phases and over an 18-month period. The new addition had pre-fab MEP racks, bathrooms, head walls and sink walls in patient rooms that cut the construction time down in the areas installed by 4 months. All new headers and upsized mains were installed. We added new steam boilers and a new fuel oil system. Other areas remodeled are OR’s, PICU, Morgue, Endo, ICU, Kitchen, Labor and delivery, and patient rooms. We also replaced the drain-line in one 5 story patient tower. We replaced $1,600,000.00 in existing fixtures with new upgraded fixtures. In total 11 healthcare projects were complete in 26 months. 111 S. MAIN CORE/SHELL Owner: CCRI, LLC Architect: Skidmore, Owens, & Merrill Engineer: WSP Location: Salt Lake City, UT Contract: $12,005,400.00 General Contractor: Okland Construction Size: 510,000 Sq Ft Completion Date: July 2016 The 111 Main Tower project is a 510,000 square foot office tower constructed in downtown where virtually every component for construction has been brought on site as needed.

Southern Hills Hospital 5th Floor Owner: Southern Hills Medical Center Engineer: Van Boerum & Frank Location: Las Vegas, NV Contract: $2,098,106.00 General Contractor: Layton Construction Size: 30,294 Sq Ft Completion Date: February 2016 This project was a design build project. We brought in one of the engineers we have worked with before on hospitals (VBF). We worked with the architect for 5 months on the design process. We incorporated fully finished bathrooms (BLOX) and wall units that were built out of state and installed on site on the 5th floor thought the side of the building. One of the biggest challenges was to coordinate the layout on the new units with the existing piping from the 4th floor. The hospital only wanted to close down the lower floor patient rooms one time during construction so all the drains and vents and water lines that needed to be moved for the new design had to line up with the new BLOX units perfectly. Due to the BIM drawings, we did not need to move any lines from the original layout and all the BLOX units set in with no problem. The project was finished on time and on budget.
