Manhattan Mechanical didn't shy away from this unusual and complex project —installing an old, donated Northwestern Wildcats basketball practice court in multiple rooms.
Lorem ipsum sin dolor sit amet.
One of the biggest challenges facing the Manhattan Mechanical team was raising the floor to ensure the basketball court was perfectly level. “The original concrete floor was very inconsistent,” says Coleman. “It was busted up with drains and had rebar coming out of the concrete.”
Another time-consuming challenge, according to Coleman, was removing the old manufacturing equipment and tanks before installation; not to mention demoing the large steel structures supporting those tanks equipment pieces.
On top of the uneven flooring and removing the equipment, the team also had to demolish concrete containment walls.
“In addition, the basketball court’s individual pieces themselves all had different depths. When we set them down, each piece had to be treated individually to keep it all on the same level.”
“We had up to twelve craftsmen working in a room at a time,” says Coleman. “But the success of this project is a result of our team’s willingness to shift gears completely,” he explains. According to Coleman, their multi-skilled craftsmen and the presence of onsite supervision helped Manhattan Mechanical adapt to daily client changes, resulting in a recipe for success.
“Thanks to their determination and solid teamwork, we managed to overcome some tough challenges, while ensuring we went above and beyond for our client.”
Lachapell is equally pleased with the project execution and services overall: “Manhattan Mechanical’s quality of work is excellent, and they continually help us save on project costs. “They were willing to go the extra mile,” he continues, “and that truly sets them apart from other contractors.”
