The Westfield Group is the largest retail property group in the world, with shopping centers in four countries and a total value in excess of $33.2 billion.
BCH Mechanical was chosen to design/build this turnkey project with a new complete replacement of their Chiller System. BCH was selected for their ability to replace the existing chillers with two (2) new 900 ton machines while maintaining service to the Mall. Because the central plant was located on the second floor there was no direct access to install a system of this size. BCH developed a plan to cut a 12 foot by 14 foot hole into the side of the building. Both chillers would then be lifted by a crane and gently place in the central plant.
BCH installed new chillers, pumps, piping, and controls without the shoppers even being aware of the work going on. The entire project was completed in 90 days.
