Full Mechanical Project, SAAS CUB, Completed

Full Mechanical Project, SAAS CUB, Completed

Auburn Mechanical has finished work as the mechanical engineer and design-build contractor on the Bayview 62+ Community Renovation and Addition. The project added 120 living spaces to the community and is located in Queen Anne, Seattle. The project included residential rooms, therapeutic pools, boiler rooms, a sky lounge, and a garden room.

The team did not approach the project as something that gave them problems. They found it as fun and asked themselves “How can we get creative?” and “How can we do well?” Working in a 24/7 occupied space was a logistical puzzle that required creative solutions from our project team. For example, we had to schedule around naps and the lunch hour.

The project scope was full mechanical (plumbing and HVAC). Areas of work included:

• Boiler Replacement
• Ductwork Installation
• Air Handler
• Residential Bathrooms
• Kitchens
• Waste Lines
• Therapeutic Pool Comfort System, Dehumidification, and Heat Exchanger
