Tooele Public Safety

Harris was selected by Big-D Construction to perform the mechanical, plumbing and HVAC controls scopes as the Design-Assist subcontractor for the new Tooele Public Safety building. Located in Tooele, this 23,000-square-foot building is a new, state-of-the-art facility that houses the city’s law enforcement administration, records, patrol, investigations, secure detainee processing and evidence storage.

This facility also included a 2,000-square-foot multi-purpose training/community event space, victim services facility, health and fitness facilities and a centralized server and communication services for the city. The site also included a separate ancillary support building for bulk evidence storage, vehicle exam and K-9 facilities.

The building’s mechanical system was designed around a Mitsubishi air cooled VRF system, with a unique aspect of placing the condensing units in a louvered equipment room to better control a consistent temp across the coils and improve system efficiencies.
