Major construction work took place on a campus running full steam amid the pandemic at multiple manufacturing, warehousing, office and research buildings. Extensive planning and teamwork were required to pull off 42 individual but interrelated projects during a three-year period without interrupting work at the complex.
To create seven ethane cracking units (ECUs) for a new plastic production plant in Pennsylvania, the project team constructed a total of 50 modules configured with structural steel, piping, electrical cable and control systems over an 18-month period.
On a 16-month project to improve an existing five-story central heating plant on the Boston College campus, with only one allotted shutdown allowed, the team committed nearly two years to preconstruction and extensive planning.
