Some buildings aren’t designed for renovations. Facing a challenging deadline to renovate two HCA buildings, Lee Company quickly realized the structures had to be modified to install new chillers and boilers. The team literally pulled together, creating an elaborate pulley system to lift the equipment into place without the use of power equipment. Lee Company also used 3D technology to redraw the internal systems, and relied on its professional fabrication shop for customized materials. While handling the difficult renovations, Lee Company simultaneously constructed two HCA parking garages. Clockwork, accident-free performance and just-in-time deliveries kept the schedule on track.
