DESIGN/BUILD CONSTRUCTION SCOPE OF WORK
Trautman & Shreve provided design/build construction services for a 166,000 square-foot, three-story office building for First Data Corporation's Denver operations. This facility also had a 60,000 square foot underground parking structure. The "L"-shaped building included a complex data communications system. In addition, there was a screen wall extending from a glass curtainwall glazing system that enclosed the rooftop-mounted mechanical equipment. This building was the first of four planned to complete First Data Corporation's Meridian Business Center Facility.
BACKGROUND
First Data became the first processor of both VISA and MasterCard bank-issued credit cards in 1976. They have been instrumental in every development involving the electronic transfer of money.
OBJECTIVES
To stay competitive in their industry.
MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION SOLUTIONS
The original design/build construction services project required Trautman & Shreve, Inc. to take the lead with development of 3-D CAD fully coordinated drawings. These BIM (Building Information Modeling) diagrams included schematics for structural, electrical, fire protection, mechanical and plumbing systems. In doing so, Trautman & Shreve identified architectural, structural, and other discipline conflicts to coordinate proper mechanical construction documentation prior to construction. This provided significant efficiencies in the field through a maximized fabrication process while eliminating the need for rework.
