Harris was chosen to install the plumbing and HVAC for the Prescott VA Mental Health Building. The plumbing systems were cast iron underground waste piping, cast iron above ground waste and vent piping. The domestic water systems are standard copper with re-circulated hot water systems. The systems did not require any special medical gases or special equipment, making installation easier.
On the HVAC side, Harris installed a 48 well geothermal piping system, including site piping to the mechanical ...

The Banner del Web project was a change of the lower floor of the building from a fully exhausted constant volume system to a variable air-volume system with return air. Harris was selected as the prime contractor based on qualifications and approach to execute the project. The project required modifying the existing 168,000 cfm AHU-24 and the replacement of the existing return air handling units. The (2) 200 hp. 84,000 cfm fans were removed from an in-phased plan so one fan could remain ...

This 4.3 million square foot corporate headquarters was designed for a staff of 12,000 employees and a cost of close to $5 billion. It features a unique design that integrates mechanical and building systems to achieve net zero energy usage, being one of the most energy efficient buildings in the world, with the campus running entirely on renewable energy. Due to the accelerated construction schedule, a standard stick-built methodology was not feasible. This required a large percentage of the mechanical systems to ...
