Project Overview

The aging boiler system at Hycroft Manor had reached the end of its life, with efficiency dropping below 65% and controls no longer functioning. Summit Building Consultants was hired to develop a scope of work, issue an RFP, and manage the project. During early site review, we identified the need for environmental assessment, which revealed high-risk asbestos requiring abatement.

Complicating matters, the boiler failed completely during the planning phase, leaving the building without heat. Summit acted quickly—sourcing locally available 95% efficient boilers and coordinating expedited installation with contractors and engineers.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Asbestos Discovery: Coordinated hazardous materials testing & remediation
  • Boiler failure during planning: Fast-tracked the project with local suppliers
  • Risk Management: Maintained resident & staff safety during abatement & installation

Results & Value Added

  • Replaced outdated system with 95% high-efficiency boilers
  • Heat restored within one week of boiler failure which helped to avoid extended disruption
  • Upgraded control system to modern standards
  • Improved long-term energy performance and system reliability

Client Feedback

  • “Amazed at the quick turnaround time to get the boilers installed.”
