Owner's Field Team
World Headquarters Campus Construction – Sprint,
Overland Park, KS
When Sprint consolidated their Kansas City office space
to a newly constructed 4 million square foot campus,
ViroCon worked directly with the owner to provide expert
commissioning services, eliminating future calls to
the contractor and ensuring the facility worked as planned.
Sprint consolidated most of their Kansas City office
space and relocated their world headquarters to a newly
constructed 4 million square foot campus. The campus
consists of 22 buildings, including a 12,000 ton central
plant. For this project as with all of their other new
construction projects, Sprint contracted the TAB and
commissioning of this project directly with the selected
firms.

Problem
Installed Systems Not Performing as Specified
Test results indicated improper airflow from thousands of installed
Fan Powered VAV boxes. The owner believed that installed boxes would
be remotely adjustable through the building automation control system
to allow airflow changes as required by future modifications to the
floor plan usage. Installed systems did not perform as specified by
the design. |

Solution
Commissioning For The Owner
Sprint selected ViroCon in part due to an experienced
and skilled field staff that can quickly identify
technical problems encountered during construction.
Our field engineers were able to measure the inputs
and outputs of the various controllers to assist the
manufacturer in identifying the cause of the issue.
Our team proved that the systems installed did not
operate per the specifications and insisted corrective
measures be taken.
Working directly for the owner combined
with our ability to understand the owner’s needs, designer’s
intent, and the installed control systems and equipment,
allowed us to protect and defend the owner’s
interests throughout this project. Our ability to
accurately troubleshoot systems and identify corrective
actions promotes de-bugging of “installed” problems
and eliminating future contractor call backs. Identifying
the issues prior to occupancy provides the owner what
they desire, getting what they paid for the first
time - a facility that works. |
