Central Energy Facility – Clemson University

In 2011 Peritus Engineers worked on the Central Energy Facility at Clemson University.  Improvements were made to the Central Chilled Water System. The scope included the addition of a third cell to the existing cooling tower and associated structural foundations, piping, and pumping systems both inside and outside of the Central Energy Facility. The primary purpose of the project was to allow existing chiller operation to be independent of requiring lake water for condenser heat rejection cooling.
 

Barnett Hall – HVAC and Window Replacement – Clemson University

The Barnett Hall project was a design-build project with Peritus Engineers acting as design team lead. Barnett Hall is a campus residence hall with approximately 36,000 SF and has 144 residence beds. The project included the demolition of the existing two-pipe HVAC system and replacement with a 4-pipe system with improved temperature and humidity control. The project also included replacing all of the single pane windows with thermal pane windows on all floors of the building. The window of completion for the Barnett Hall project was only 90 days and the project was successfully completed within the client’s timeframe.

Manning Hall – Clemson University

The Manning Hall Project consisted of the planning and design of the renovation of a 96,460 SF, ten-story residence hall.  The renovation included replacing an existing two-pipe HVAC system with a four-pipe system allowing for optimal temperature control. The facility was undergoing a significant renovation which created community space on each of the upper eight floors and included the required upgrades to the lower two floors. In addition, electrical and IT upgrades were completed. The client’s schedule of completion was 90 days and the project was completed within this timeframe.  In 2010, the Associated Builders and Contractors of the Carolinas recognized the Manning Hall Project with the presentation of an Eagle Award.

Dining Common Kitchen Renovations – Bob Jones University

The Dining Common building was originally built in 1958.  Bob Jones University converted the building to the main student dining facility and it underwent several renovations/expansions over a period of years.  This project included the renovation of the 10,000 SF of space for the kitchen area, food storage areas, offices and toilets.  The project was fast tracked design build with a schedule of 93 days.  The Associated Builders and Contractors of the Carolinas recognized this project with the presentation of an Eagle Award in 2014.

Central Energy Plant – Piedmont Technical College

Peritus Engineers provided design engineering services to remove and replace the existing cooling tower for the Central Energy Plant at Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, SC. This project included the installation of a new cooling tower and piping, along with associated structural and electrical work. The design allowed for the existing cooling tower to remain in operation while construction was in progress.  In a separate project, Peritus provided services for the complete design of a replacement boiler system for the Central Energy Plant.  This project included replacing boilers and piping as well as the design of new natural gas piping to supply fuel to the new boilers.
