cKenney’s helped revive a
multi-stage project—including
a central district water plant—
for the Buckhead Atlanta luxury destination.

plumbing needed to serve three parcels spanning one-and-a-half blocks on a busy urban
street, each with a different completion sched-

ule. This was to be accomplished using equipment that had been stored for over three years.
THE SOLUTION
To keep everything on track, McKenney’s
enlisted Building Information Modeling technology for virtual construction, coordination
and clash detection between the trades. The
team then installed the water plant along with
prefabricated plumbing and underground piping at various stages of the project to supply

the infrastructure for the entire development.
McKenney’s tested and evaluated the dormant
equipment—and made updates and repairs
—to return them to like-new performance.
THE RESULTS
Despite the change in owner and designs,
staggered completion schedules and the
multiple city blocks scope, the project is
progressing as scheduled, on budget and
is operating per design expectations.
