Autumn to Provide Turn-Key Chiller and Cooling System Upgrade for Provident Hospital

Project: Provident Hospital - Chiller / HVAC-3 Cooling Upgrade
Owner: Cook County Government
Client: Cook County Health and Hospital System (CCHHS)
Services: Mechanical Job Order Contact
Location: Chicago, IL

Autumn Construction Services, Inc. was tasked to provide a turn-key chiller and cooling system upgrade for a key operating suite at Provident Hospital. The Autumn team, including RTM Engineers, investigated existing mechanical and electrical systems conditions before selecting a 210 Ton state-of-the-art air-cooled, Quantech chiller system to replace and upgrade the existing 60 Ton system. The project presented several challenges including confirming that the existing structural design of the building can support the upsized chiller and associated equipment, addressing existing asbestos-containing materials, and providing temporary cooling and electrical equipment to keep the operating rooms online during the construction phase. This project is being fast-tracked under the Countywide Job Order Contract (JOC) Program between Cook County and Autumn. The construction started in May 2021 and is targeted to complete in October 2021.
