Retrofit projects like the Research Medical Center/Brookside Central Plant in Kansas City can be challenging, but thanks to P1 Group’s Virtual Design Construction (VDC) and fabrication capabilities, P1 was able to move this project toward completion with efficiency.

This design-build project entailed transforming existing space at the RMC campus into a newly functioning central plant that will provide chilled water and steam for approximately 196,000 sq. ft. of medical office space and 40,000 sq. ft. of hospital space.

Of note, P1 used economical and non-corrosive Aquatherm Blue Pipe in combination with welded steel pipe, all of which was fabricated in our Lawrence, KS fabrication facility.
