• The JD Bravo Company (Bravo) was selected by the GSA Region 3 to complete a bid-build replacement and system upgrade of the existing chiller water plant with new chillers, new pumps, remote chiller water barrels, and suction accumulators
• Work also included new structural support of penthouse roof and floor for new equipment, total replacement of penthouse roof, and installation of new roof fall protection system.

• Limited crane access and location for hoisting.
• Placement of exterior lift for leading manpower and materials.
