Location: Hamilton
Size: 500
McMaster General Science Building was a project where Kelson modified existing HVAC ductwork distribution. The project scope involved utilizing the existing air-handling unit supply fan and upgrading the downstream distribution to include new reheat coils and DDC Controls to serve occupied lab spaces. As an existing building, Kelson undertook the scope to verification and investigation of the airflows in installed ductwork. Final air balancing took place to verify design requirements. Kelson was the prime contractor on this project. Kelson was responsible for reviewing and developing a plan to maintain cooling for the building, while renovation was being completed. Additionally, Kelson was tasked with developing a plan to investigate distribution of existing ductwork to verify system distribution. Kelson removed all HVAC equipment including pumps, heat exchangers and coils. Kelson supplied and installed the new HVAC equipment including pumps, heat exchangers and coils.
