Based on the findings of this survey, many of the existing HTHW distribution piping supports had failed and numerous expansion joints were in need of immediate replacement.

 

The Partners of CRC provided a detailed thermal piping stress analysis and detailed design and construction documents to repair the failed HTHW piping supports and replace the expansion joints.

 

In order to bring the system online for the 2008/2009 heating season, the design and construction documents were completed on an emergency fast-track schedule and were completed in less than two weeks.

 

During construction, close coordination with the contractor and the Port Authority was maintained.  Response to RFIs and shop drawing review was expedited to meet the abbreviated construction schedule.
