Because Bosch Rexroth wanted the conversion completed in 32 weeks, the HVAC upgrade had to be finished in 11 weeks. Making that even more complicated, O’Neal, Inc., which served as the architect, mechanical engineer and construction man- ager, had already purchased the air handling equipment — and it was not expected until the seventh or eighth week of Waldrop’s timeframe. Yet, says Bosch Rexroth’s project manager, Jerry Greene, “Waldrop came in on time and on budget. I’d be happy to work with them again.” Bosch Rexroth manufactures hydraulic equipment for companies such as John Deere and Caterpillar. This build- ing is the third one on a 100-acre campus it is developing in Greenville County; the campus represents the com- pany’s largest investment in North America. This latest building was completed in August 2012. Before the air handling equipment arrived, Waldrop fab- ricated 48 tons of duct work and installed it at heights of 40 feet – all while structural steel was fabricated and in- stalled for the mezzanine. In addition, seven water source heat pumps, 19 exhaust fans and 23 gravity intake and re- lief hoods were installed. Even with all that planning, the air handling equipment arrived a week later than expected, and one of the units was damaged in shipment, requiring major repairs. But the 11-week schedule was met – and without a single accident. CONTINUED ON PAGE 15 OSHA Most Cited Violations of 2012 1.
