Lee Company knew going in that building a new chiller tower for HCA’s Parkridge Medical Center in Chattanooga would be incredibly difficult. Everything was out of the ordinary, from the hospital’s location to construction logistics. With no offices in Chattanooga, the project crew worked out of town, away from family and friends for almost a year. The project involved 3D modeling, 12-hour days, limited laydown space in the Life Flight helicopter area, turning the AC off in a working hospital (several times), minimizing patient impact, and keeping hospital leaders happy. The results? Lee Company’s team handled every Chattanooga chiller challenge.
