Great Lakes, IL

MPC received a $22,000,000 HVAC contract for seven new Navy Multiple Recruit Barracks.  Each pair of barracks share a mechanical plant that houses two steam fed absorption chillers, heat exchangers, custom fabricated steam pressure reducing stations, hot and chilled water pumps and condenser waste pumps.  Each set of absorption chillers is served by four cooling towers.  Four air handling units serve each building.  Pre-insulated underground pipes transport steam, condensate, chilled water, and hot water between the buildings. 

Great Lakes, IL

In early 2007, MPC was awarded two barracks for the first phase of this extensive project.  Steam to hot water heat exchangers will provide the heating hot water for this project.  Dedicated chillers and cooling towers will provide the chilled water for cooling.  Central VAV air handlers will provide ventilation.

Great Lakes, IL

Challenges faced in a typical building remodel were magnified as this "historical signature icon" was listed for preservation by the State of Illinois. In addition, this keystone of Great Lakes was partially occupied with Top Brass during construction.   MPC replaced the existing heating system and added a central chilled water plant.  Work was performed with the utmost caution.

Kenosha, WI

MPC was the HVAC contractor for the 100+ bed medium security detention facility.  Housing men and women, this facility included sleeping quarters, day rooms, basketball courts, and administrative offices.  MPC installed a VVT packaged rooftop system with hot water reheats.

Glenview, IL

Completed in 2006, this three level 100,000 SF facility is equipped with underground parking, an indoor firing range and a nine cell-lockup holding area. As the selected HVAC contractor, MPC worked with the general contractor and engineer of record to incorporate several VE options to keep the project within budget.  Installed system components included a custom built-up air handling unit, air cooled chillers, a HW boiler plant and an elaborate exterior radiant heating system serving the parking ramp drive and all municipal walkways around the building.

Great Lakes, IL

Complete with a large gymnasium and two wings of offices/class rooms, MPC provided the plumbing system for this new training facility. MPC tapped into the underground campus steam system and provided a steam to hot water heat exchanger for domestic hot water. 

Whitewater, WI

MPC installed (3) 800 ton absorption chillers and cooling towers for this University power plant expansion.  MPC also installed a 100 psig to 20 psig steam pressure reducing station and piping with our state certified welding crew.

Great Lakes, IL

This remodel of the 3^rd & 4^th floors of a secured building provided its own unique access challenges.  MPC replaced the radiant hot water system and reworked the duct work.  We upgraded the plumbing and associated fixtures.  In addition, MPC installed a new medical gas system.

Kenosha, WI

Located on the corner of highways 45 & 50, this serves as Kenosha County's main municipal office and highway garage facility.   Martin Petersen was selected to provide the HVAC design/build services for this project.  Incorporating ice storage technology and low-temperature air distribution, we were honored to accept an ASHRAE award for the energy efficient nature of this mechanical installation.

Milwaukee, WI

The special challenge of this project was replacing the existing HVAC system in an occupied military facility during international conflict.  Working over offices, classrooms, and a gym/locker room,   MPC replaced the hot water, chilled water, and air handling system.  In addition we provided a full DDC system to monitor building operations.  

Lake Zurich, IL

On bid day, MPC was the low HVAC Contractor, however, the project was over budget.  To keep the project on track, MPC offered value engineering options and was eventually selected the HVAC contractor with full Design/Build responsibilities.  MPC provided a packaged rooftop VVT system to meet the owner's needs and budget.

Kenosha, WI

This state of the art museum constructed near the shoreline of Lake Michigan provided many architectural challenges for the installation of our HVAC system.  Due to high a ground water level, a very shallow basement depth was required.  All mechanical systems were coordinated and installed by MPC to fit within a basement level with an overall height of approximately 8 feet.

Veterans Administration Hospital Additions

Hines, IL

A new laboratory building and rehabilitation building were constructed for this hospital complex.  MPC provided central VAV air handlers with hot water reheat, laboratory exhaust, and a medical gas system.

Countryside Fire Station

Vernon Hills, IL

MPC provided plumbing for this new community Fire Station featuring larger apparatus bays to fit modern fire trucks.  It also provides living quarters for six firemedics, a 5-story training tower, training/community room and a state of the art dispatch center.
