Tweet/Garot was selected to be the installing contractor based on our experience and the relationships that have been built over many years with both the General Contractor and the owner. A process and building ventilation system was installed by local union sheet metal workers and led by Tweet/Garot’s key field leadership.

The building ventilation systems served many areas including the machine room, MCC, lab and control room. With the sizes of some of the duct being close to 16 feet wide and weighting thousands of pounds, it was important that we had highly trained riggers on the project so that the system was installed safely. Layout accuracy was also very important and was achieved with the help of a total station.

A few of the challenges included substantial rain along with a hurricane. Attracting workforce in the remote areas of the project was also a challenge which affected the project schedule.
