Bell BCI Company, LLC was the General Contractor on this $14.5 MM, 3,000 Ton Capacity Chiller Plant Upgrade at Fort Meade, MD. Bell performed structural and architectural additions, as well as removal and replacement of all major mechanical equipment; piping systems; electrical and control systems for the building’s Chilled and Condenser water systems. Bell’s scope of work included fabrication and installation of new piping for these systems, as well as installation of all mechanical equipment on this project. Early planning, careful coordination with our entire construction team, and our CAD Department’s use of BIM enabled us to modify our original project approach and increase our offsite fabrication. Our fab shop pre-assembled the piping components and timed deliveries to align with the construction and phasing schedules so prefabrications went directly from delivery to installation.
Major equipment installed included: 4,160V Outdoor Substation; 480V Indoor Switchgear; (3) 1500 Ton Chillers; (6) 750 Ton Cooling Towers; and (9) Hydronic Pumps Ranging in size from 75 to 500HP.
Bell is hiring paid interns and graduates to join our team in Rochester, NY; Baltimore, MD; Richmond, VA; and Charleston, SC. Mechanical engineering and construction management majors are preferred. Visit us at your school/university career fair.
