Keys Energy Power Plant
Combined Cycle Power PlantScope: Design-Build Subcontractor to SNC-Lavalinr | Project Value: $16,787,787
On this high-security, safety first job site, KCC managed the construction of approx. 52,000 SF of space which included a Condensate Polishing building under the pre-installed cooler towers.
KCC was tasked with the design, coordination and erection of the main Power Building which houses two natural gas turbines, two electric generators, a steam turbine, a 125-ton bridge crane, and related power equipment. This structure also includes the Admin building, Warehouse buildings, and two Electrical buildings erected adjacent to the power equipment. KCC was responsible for the four critical buildings needed to operate this combined cycle power plant.
One of the main challenges on this project was KCC’s client, SNC-Lavalin, was significantly behind schedule. A pipe rack structure was installed prior to KCC being able to erect the 85’ tall building, preventing work access to the entire 450’ length of the north side of the building.
The installation of the pipe rack structure provided KCC only 30” of clearance between the pipe rack and the building exterior. This clearance required KCC to change its plan to install the building exterior with manlifts and cranes to avoid having to use swing scaffolding.
This change added significant time to KCC’s schedule. SNC asked KCC to accelerate the schedule and to complete the work in the original scheduled duration. KCC developed a detailed plan and schedule that allowed it to reduce the impact from the change in conditions by over 30%, and to achieve the client’s desired schedule.
Kimball’s Project Team was recognized by SNC-Lavalin for their ability to coordinate activities safely and complete our work ahead of the anticipated schedule.
Keys Energy Center
EPC Warehouse & Office BuildingScope: Civil-Structural Subcontractor | Project Value: $2,677,702.44
After having worked with the owner of the Keys Energy Center on previous projects, KCC was asked to design and construct a 6,000 square foot pre-engineered warehouse building with an administration office space
The Keys Energy Center was under operation at the time of constructing the additional building, so safety requirements and understanding the on-going operations were of utmost importance for KCC and the client. To complete the project on schedule, KCC managed trades inside and outside of the building simultaneously.
Maryland Transit Administration
BWI MARC Rail Station Rebuild & EnlargementScope: Prime General Contractor | Project Value: $4,972,078
MdQI 2020 Award of Excellence Winner.
Maryland Transit Administration Award Recipient in the Over $5 Million Category.
Presented to Kimball Construction Company for the MDOT MTA MARC BWI Rail Station Project.
Kimball Construction served as the Prime General Contractor for the renovation of MTA’s Ticketing Building renovation project at the BWI Airport. As one of the east coast’s busiest stations – offering MARC, Amtrak, bus services, and free shuttles to their airport and light rail – the outdated station was unable to accommodate the volume of passengers.
The $4.5M upgrades include an upgraded partition layout for the ticket offices, 70 passenger waiting area, windows, outdoor canopy’s, ADA access, new sidewalks and taxi drop off loop, and retail space. Also included in the upgrade was new fenestration, roof replacement, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical replacement. All rail and services continued throughout construction so KCC performed pedestrian accommodations, vehicle traffic control, and strategic equipment delivery and storage at the jobsite.
Provided the project was completed at the airport, the facilities were heavily secured and had restricted access.
Engineers Club of Baltimore at the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion
VERTICAL BUILDING ADDITION WITH ELEVATORScope: Prime General Contractor | Project Value: $2,386,745
Kimball Construction provided Value Engineered, Design-Build services and served as the Prime General Contractor for the Engineers Club Vertical Expansion. The addition to the mansion was a project members of the club wanted to complete for +10 years and eventually began construction in 2017. The project was value-engineered by Kimball to complete the project within the Owner’s allotted budget.
Previous to the addition, access to the building was limited and difficult for handicapped guests. This addition allows for access to all levels of the mansion, with ease, via an ADA entrance and exit, elevator stopping at all floors, and ADA restrooms. The Garrett Jacobs Mansion was built in 1853 and hosts weddings, dinners, and networking events regularly with guests of all ages and is now accommodating to everyone in attendance.
McCormick & Co.
EMPLOYEE LOCKER ROOM MODERNIZATION AT MANUFACTURING FACILITYScope: Prime General Contractor | Project Value: $2,043,831
KCC provided the project supervision and administration to manage all aspects of the locker room upgrade project at the McCormick Headquarters in Hunt Valley, MD. The renovations will give 900+ employees a space to store belongings, shower, and prepare for their workday in the manufacturing facility. The project consists of selective demolition of the existing men's and women's locker rooms in a phased approach, with relocation, demolition, and then construction. Scope of the structure upgrade includes installation of new partitions, toilet compartments, toilet and bath accessories, lockers, benches, ceramic tile flooring and walls, carpeting, ceilings, HVAC, thermal and moisture protection, for the new men's and women's locker rooms. Scope also include fabrication and erection of a mezzanine.
Project environment includes intricate scheduling for delivery due to limited space and restricted delivery entrances, coordination of materials, strategic working schedules to minimize plant disruption, and traffic control for the highly accessed operational facility. The site remained active and occupied during the renovations. Secure isolation of construction from the plant is required until the completion of work. The air quality (control of odors, fumes, noise, dust, etc.) and daily cleaning is of utmost importance to this manufacturing and food facility.
White Oak Medical Center
CORE & SHELL-CENTRAL UTILITY PLANTScope: Subcontractor to CM; Managed Mechanical & Electrical Scopes | Project Value: $3,800,000
After 112 years of serving Takoma Park, the not-for-profit Washington Adventist Hospital relocated and opened a state-of-the-art medical campus in Silver Spring, MD in August of 2019. The new facility doubles capacity of the previous facility, totaling over 472,0000 square feet, serving over 180 patients in private rooms. The new campus is equipped with advanced technology and services, larger operating rooms, and efficient mechanical and electrical systems - needed to provide uninterrupted power, steam, and chilled water to the entire campus.
Kimball was the constructor of the Central Utility Plant's core and shell, on behalf of Edison Energy. The building is one story above grade and one cellar level grade, exposed on one side. The project included earthwork, foundations, site work, concrete foundations and equipment pads, structural steel erection, louver bays and overhead doors, and architectural finishes. The building was tied into the hospital and covered in a brick veneer finish.
For equipment installation and removal, a roofing system with roof hatches was required so KCC's project team could coordinate the mechanical, electrical, and controls contractors as they installed equipment into the newly constructed building. KCC received recognition from Edison Energy for the team's ability to work together and overcome all project challenges.
