H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute is a non-profit cancer treatment and research center in Tampa, FL. In treatment centers, maintaining a consistent, cold temperature throughout the facility is crucial to the health of patients and sanitation. As part of the hospital’s expansion, the RANDALL Mechanical team installed two 2,200-ton chillers and cooling towers and installed five MBTU Cleaver-Brooks boilers, with associated piping and controls. 

The project consisted of four phases and approximately 4,000 tons of cooling. The RANDALL team relocated and installed a new underground steam, condenser and chill water supply with returns throughout campus and new warehouse and loading dock to maximize efficiencies of the facility. To supply half of this chilled water loop, a CPE (Central Energy Plant) was also installed.

RANDALL successfully performed all construction while the facilities were operating.

RANDALL implemented HVAC, plumbing and medical gas systems in this six-story medical office and ambulatory surgery center. This HVAC system has eight custom air handling units that serve 230 Venturi Air Valves (VAVs) with hydronic heat, 10 fan coil units, and two desiccant units. 24 of these VAVs serve 12 operating rooms, and 13 exhaust fans to help provide exhaust and stair pressurization relief. This plumbing system included storm, sanitary, medical gas, and domestic hot and cold water.

RANDALL installed a 430-ton chiller and equally large tower, two 1032 GPM primary chilled water pumps, two chilled water FCU’s and a 1290 GPM condenser water pump. RANDALL also worked on all chilled water and condenser piping, supports, valves, fittings, control devices, and pipe insulation for all new equipment, supply air pressure testing for welds, piping system prior to installation and introduction of water and the existing hot water system for room 101 only. RANDALL installed and piped fan coil units, provided sheet metal exhaust ducts, exhaust fan with curb, louver, and sheet metal sleeving for motorized damper. RANDALL also erected a new cooling tower and supplied more DDC controls to link new and existing equipment and control systems. RANDALL also installed chemical treatment equipment and chemicals with one year of service per specs. In addition, RANDALL performed a test, balance, line voltage wiring, and concrete work.
