Team Leader, Building Efficiency Donnie Dockery says, “We were challenged to install the energy control system into an ex- isting building with limited access. The perfect solution was a wireless building automation system that eliminated the surface mounted raceway option.” Dockery described the work as an “out-of- the-box” solution to provide an ef- fective energy control systems within the tight construc- tion schedule. Waldrop project manager Brandon Glover says the team needed everyone's buy-in and effective communication flow. For example, Peritus Engineers and Associates Inc., the project's engineers of record, joined in the collaborative spirit. President Jody Parker says, “As prime contractor, Waldrop’s management co-ordinated meetings with the design team, major subcontractors and vendors to identify common project objectives as well as refine the timeline necessary to meet the challenging project schedule.” “Because we are often a subcontractor on a project we could empathize with our subcontractors and understand the trickle-down effect of responsibility on subcontractors on most projects,” says Glover. “We feel things on projects can often be handled differently than they are and part of that is giving people the time they need to do the work they are contracted to do.” To this end, Glover says once an initial schedule had been established, with time allotted for each trade to do the work they were assigned, the entire team took part in adjusting and amending the schedule to take into account Creating Environments for Learning and Living Thermal Resource Sales is proud to be a part of these award winning teams: Waldrop Inc: Clemson Life Science Building, Clemson Barnett Hall and Moses Cone Hospital Congratulations to Waldrop Mechanical Services Providing Innovative HVAC & Plumbing Solutions for High Performance Buildings! 430 J Roper Mountain Rd, Greenville, SC 29615 Tel : 864-234-5160 www.johnsoncontrols.com 109-B Pilgrim Road, Greenville, SC 29607 864-250-2822 The South Carolina Construction News — December 2013 / January 2014 – 5
