Alexandria Real Estate, a San Diego-based developer of high-end lab space, tapped HTS New England to provide a 500 TON factory pre-fabricated Epsilon chiller plant for an existing property in Watertown. The tenant was NESN-TV broadcast studios. The chiller plant featured a high-efficiency Carrier centrifugal chiller and a BAC cooling tower.
The factory-fabricated approach was chosen by HTS New England to minimize building disruption for existing tenants and also to meet the aggressive move-in schedule of NESN. The entire plant was rigged into place and pulled together within a single day.
The general contractor on the project was Alexandria and the mechanical contractor was ESI.
