Burns & McDonnell Upgrading Climate Control Systems for Nuclear Security Facilities – PR Newswire (press release)

The agreements are designed to boost efficiency and effectiveness within the federal programs. The CHAMP agreement, for example, will enable investment of an estimated $75 million through a single contract, rather than splitting up five years of efforts across eight sites, to reduce administrative burdens and leverage purchasing power.

Modern supply-chain management techniques will benefit NNSA through lower prices and reduced time necessary for repairs, replacements and modernization of HVAC components. Design work began this month.

"I'm proud of the CHAMP team," says Mark Martinez, LLNS' principal associate director of operations and business. "The selection of Burns & McDonnell is a crucial milestone in our efforts to modernize HVAC infrastructure complex wide in order to further NNSA's mission and perform cutting-edge science."

Burns & McDonnell FES, a subsidiary of Burns & McDonnell, has supported Department of Energy operations in Kansas City for more than a decade providing utility system management, engineering/design support and construction oversight for Honeywell FM&T plant management operations. When NNSA decided to relocate from a 3 million-square-foot facility into a new one measuring 1.5 million square feet, the FES group served as owner's representative for NNSA and oversaw the successful move of the complex's 3,000 pieces of equipment and 40,000 moving crates.

"We are proud to support NNSA in its effort to address its critical infrastructure needs in protecting our nuclear enterprise," says Dave Barr, vice president and director of federal projects at Burns & McDonnell.
