Wiegmann Associates has completed HVAC work for the new $8.3 million retail and office building at the Streets of St. Charles development in St. Charles, MO. Wiegmann served as the mechanical contractor and provided value engineering services for the 60,000-square-foot building. The general contractor was Brinkmann Constructors. The architect was Oculus Inc.

Wiegmann’s HVAC design solution features an energy efficient, high-performing Rooftop Variable Air Volume (VAV) HVAC system to serve the new three-story building. The building features retail spaces on the first floor and offices on the top two floors, which Wiegmann will finish for the new tenant, Elekta.

Wiegmann’s value engineering of the system, including right-sizing equipment and streamlining duct design, saved more than 43 percent on upfront HVAC costs. Wiegmann also designed and installed a custom Delta Controls Direct Digital Control (DDC) system, which allows the owner to remotely monitor and control the HVAC system. This Building Automation System improves acoustical performance, optimizes energy savings and reduces operating costs by decreasing fan and electric reheat energy.

The Streets of St. Charles is a 27-acre development, home to a variety of retail, dining, entertainment, hospitality, multi-family housing and offices.

Wiegmann Associates has completed HVAC work for the new $22.15 million assisted living facility on the Nazareth Living Center campus in St. Louis, MO. Wiegmann served as the design/build mechanical contractor and Engineer of Record (EOR) consultant for the 60-suite, 70,000-square-foot complex. The general contractor was BSI Constructors and Northstar Management Company served as the construction representative for Nazareth Living Center. The architect was Lawrence Group out of St. Louis, MO.

Wiegmann’s HVAC solution features an energy efficient and cost-effective system that meets all the indoor air quality requirements suitable for a senior living center. A Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) system serves residential units in two, three-story towers. Each resident room has a dedicated fan coil unit, creating zone control for optimal, individualized comfort. The center also features an attached four-story tower with common areas that are served by a variable air volume rooftop system (VAV) equipped with fan terminal units for zone control and energy savings. In addition, Wiegmann installed a dehumidification unit for the facility’s pool building to ensure proper indoor air temperature and humidity.

Senior living facilities are built with very little space for equipment needed for HVAC, electrical, plumbing and fire protection. Through design coordination and onsite adjustments by all trades working on the Nazareth Living Center, the project was kept on time and on budget.

Nazareth Living Center is a Catholic, nonprofit community for older adults offering independent senior living apartment homes, long-term nursing care, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing & rehabilitation services.

Wiegmann Associates completes HVAC Work for New St. Charles County Emergency Operations Center

Published on

Wiegmann Associates has completed work on the St. Charles County Emergency Management’s new $20 million Emergency Operations Center in O’Fallon, MO. The new facility consolidates all of the county’s emergency resources under one roof and speeds response time. Contracting Business magazine awarded Wiegmann Associates a Design/Build award for the project. Wiegmann was the Engineer of Record (EOR) and design/build HVAC mechanical contractor for the project. Brinkmann Constructors was the general contractor.

The 30,000-square-foot, one-story building houses day-to-day operations of the Department of Emergency Communications, St. Charles County Police Department’s Division of Emergency Management and a 1,400-square-foot data center for county information technology operations and the county-wide emergency radio communications system.

Wiegmann’s scope of work included the design and installation of heating and cooling infrastructure for the facility and the mission-critical data center. Wiegmann built 100% redundancy into the HVAC systems and data center to ensure uninterrupted operation under any conditions.  Because the facility must operate during natural disasters and terrorist threats, it was built to comply with ICC500, the design and construction standard for storm shelters.

A Building Automation System (BAS) prioritizes cooling for critical areas. If building temperatures rise above a set point due to multiple equipment failures, the BAS system would start to cut off airflow to non-critical areas so critical areas such as the data center remained conditioned.

The HVAC system also provides tight humidity control to protect evidence housed in a 6,200-square-foot addition to the adjacent St. Charles County Police Department. A 6,300-square-foot addition to the adjacent fleet storage building is being used for maintenance and storage of the County’s Emergency’s vehicles and equipment.

This was the first time St. Charles County has engaged in the design/build process.  All other County buildings have been constructed with the design/bid/build process.

St. Charles County Emergency Management maintains the St. Charles County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), which coordinates with the cities within St. Charles County, as well as neighboring jurisdictions and state and federal agencies during emergency activations.  

Wiegmann Associates is a St. Louis-based mechanical contractor serving the commercial, industrial and institutional markets, and a national leader in design/build HVAC projects For more information, visit www.wiegmannassoc.com or call (636) 940-1056.
