When extreme winter weather caused a waterline to break in the parking deck at Armor Bank in Little Rock, Ark., and the plumbing vendor wasn't able to respond, Powers got the call instead. On-call Mechanical Service Tech Josh Cox and our Vice-President of Service David Squires took on the challenge of seeing what they could do to help.

Powers was called to address poor air distribution at one of Pratt & Whitney's manufacturing facilities. We found a solution that would help redistribute the air and also maximize the comfort and efficiency of the HVAC system.

This project was a design build solution by Powers that transformed a poorly operating HVAC system into an efficient system that also increased the occupant comfort level. The DX AHU was leaking and inefficient. The VAV boxes were poorly zoned and not controlling properly due to outdated pneumatics and lack of volume control.

An old air cooled chiller had run its course in the Choctaw Building occupied by the Clinton School for Public Service and needed to be replaced. Meanwhile, 10-year-old inefficient Trane chillers were costing their neighbor next door, the William J. Clinton Presidential Library, a ton of money. Together they needed a solution that could provide chilled water for both facilities more efficiently as well as a better Building Automation and Controls System that could operate the chiller plant along with the entire facility.
