The ChallengePiping had to be carefully installed through the boiler plant, into a crawl space with asbestos warning labels, up through thefloor and across the ceiling of the main switchboard room into the kitchen. New roof top units (RTUs) were very large and heavy. During the RTU installation lift, extreme precision was needed as there was only 18 inches of rigging space clearance.
