//Ameristar Casino Air Quality Improvement click the photo for more images	General Contractor: Hawkins Construction Company Engineer: AE Associates Project Value: $1,300,000 Scope of Work: Mechanical Piping Sheetmetal
Project Summary: Prairie Mechanical Corporation recently completed an indoor air quality project at Ameristar Casino aimed at improving Air Distribution, Ventilation, Controls, and Filtration. Six new air handling units were added to the Vessel to increase heating and cooling capacity. In addition, the existing pre-heat and heating coils were replaced to allow for more ventilation during the winter months. The new air handling units have 4” deep MERV 8 pre-filters and 12” deep MERV 14 filters to remove air particulates of all sizes. Indoor Air Quality sensors were installed throughout the casino allowing control of ventilation based on measured contaminate levels.

//Clarkson Tower HVAC Infrastructure Replacement click the photo for more images	General Contractor: Prairie Mechanical Corporation Engineer: HDR Architecture, Inc. Project Value: $2,400,000 Scope of Work: Mechanical Piping Plumbing Sheetmetal
Project Summary: Prairie Mechanical Corporation was selected by The Nebraska Medical Center as their Design-Assist mechanical contractor of choice for upgrading Clarkson Tower’s aging HVAC Infrastructure. A multiphase project, the team is methodically working to replace approximately 500,000 CFM of air handling units in an operable hospital without interrupting or compromising patient care. The Sub-Basement mechanical room requires that all air handling units are shipped in crates and field erected. The first phase included a 75,000 CFM air handling unit and a hot water plant consisting of redundant steam heat exchangers and 600 GPM hot water pumps. As the Construction Manager, Prairie Mechanical has sole responsibility for both the general construction and electrical scopes of work.

//Cooling Coil Replacement click the photo for more images	General Contractor: Prairie Mechanical Corporation Engineer: RDH Engineering Project Value: $350,000 Scope of Work: Mechanical Piping Sheetmetal
Project Summary: A nationally renowned research hospital located in Omaha, NE has made significant investments in their facilities over the years as they constantly strive to be on the leading edge of the healthcare industry. As their facilities have aged, many of the chilled water coils had reached their useful life expectancy. Prairie Mechanical Corporation replaced 19 chilled water coils and one air handling unit with minimal interruption to clinical operations. Our team worked integrally with the hospital to coordinate the replacement of these chilled water coils paying special attention to not compromise patient care. This project required extensive knowledge of hospital protocols to coordinate work with both facilities management and clinical staff.

//Generator Plant click the photo for more images	General Contractor: All Purpose Construction Engineer: Specialized Engineering Solutions Project Value: $100,000 Scope of Work: Mechanical Piping Plumbing Sheetmetal
Project Summary: A nationally renowned research hospital located in Omaha, NE has grown substantially over the past 20 years. As buildings are constructed and technology is further adopted within their operations, their demand for steam, chilled water, and backup power generation increases. Their generator plant currently houses three 2,000 KW generators. Prairie Mechanical Corporation assisted in the setting of a fourth 2,000 KW generator. We constructed a custom double wall plenum that rises 40 feet into the air and penetrates the roof of the existing structure. The generator is exhausted through a 16 inch stainless steel stack inside the double wall plenum. A fuel oil contractor installed a new below grade fuel oil storage tank. Prairie Mechanical installed socket welded fuel oil lines from the new storage tank to day tanks located next to the generators.
