LAX Central Utility Plant Replacement

Harris provided the HVAC sheet metal required for Los Angeles International Airport’s overhaul of their central plant. Overall, Harris fabricated 120,000 pounds of sheet metal for the project and ensured proper procedures were followed for the client’s LEED Gold certification goals.

The transportation of people and equipment was a major challenge for the project team. The lay down area was five miles away from the project site through heavy traffic. To reduce time spent on the road, Harris relied on intense coordination with its partners and good communication amongst people on the ground.

As part of installation, Harris required a crane to bring equipment to roof level. Harris performed the crane picks at night, so roads were only closed during low traffic times.

When faced with cost increases, Harris brought the client savings by incorporating vendors and manufactures in the design meetings and scheduling.
