BACKGROUND: Merced County recently accepted bids on the construction of a new administration building.  C.R. Carlson Co. was the mechanical contractor selected for the project.  R.F. MacDonald Co. worked with the contractor to provide a complete hydronic skid package for an outdoor, roof-top installation.

PROJECT: R.F. MacDonald Co. worked closely with the contractor and mechanical engineer to produce a boiler package that exceeded the specification requirements and met the differing needs of all the entities involved.

One of the conditions of the mechanical contract award was that all work in the field had to be completed during non-business hours to eliminate interruption of normal facility operations.  Given the expense of overtime labor, R.F. MacDonald Co. worked with C.R. Carlson to provide a complete skid-mounted hydronic boiler package. The skid included an ACE hot water boiler designed for outdoor installation, system circulating pump, expansion tank, chemical pot feeder and associated piping.  R.F. MacDonald Co.’s Modesto office shop personnel put this skid together in less than two days!  The end result was an attractive lightweight skid, complete with lifting lugs, which was easily hoisted to the rooftop and readily installed.  All of this at a considerable savings to C.R. Carlson Co., who otherwise would have had to install each individual piece of equipment and at overtime labor rates.
