Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station North Annex
FM Solutions was contracted to complete a much needed remodel and renovation to this existing building. We started the project by developing a plan of action that worked for the customer. Due to the expedited schedule the project was divided up between four individuals, each that would head up their own area of specialty. We knew the standard AIA process would not work for a project of this type with this expedited schedule, so four different focus areas listed below were to commence all at once.
-
Programming: FMS worked closely with PVNGS facility team, and end users to assist them in their programming needs. We were able to analyze different departments so that the space would work for various groups that occupied the space. This data was utilized in creating metrics and developing standards. This allowed the plan to be flexible and comfortable for groups who would occupy this space.
-
Architectural and technical aspects: FMS collaborated with the facility group, security, IT, O&M groups and outside vendors to determine how this building functioned on campus and what their technical requirements were. Structural integrity and HVAC systems: FMS collaborated closely with the structural and mechanical consultants. And identified that the building needed new HVAC units and controls, new stairways, as well as an elevator.
-
Design: FMS collaborated with the owner’s standards committee and were able to fully understand the requirements and incorporate it into the design. We designed a universal plan that maximized the space and then collaborated with the programming team to modify it to meet the end users needs.
-
Construction Documents: We were able to start the construction documents on day one of the project. We set up sheets, produced a cartoon set, identified specialty areas and began to incorporate standard details. As information developed from the technical and design team, they integrated that information into the drawings. The production lead collaborated closely with our in house quality review team and the project design lead throughout the process to assure the quality of the drawings exceeded the client’s expectations.
