Case Study: Valley Regional Medical Center achieves a fast, reliable HVAC upgrade with Victaulic

Valley Regional Medical Center completes 46-year-old chilled water system replacement in 4 months with Victaulic

Valley Regional Medical Center, a hospital in Brownsville, Texas, faced the challenge of replacing its 46-year-old chilled water system on an accelerated four-month timeline. The mechanical contractor, Stanger Industries, partnered with Victaulic to meet this tight schedule, which involved installing large-diameter piping with paramount accuracy to avoid delays.

Victaulic utilized its Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) services, conducting a 3D laser scan to model the system and prefabricate pipes. Their grooved pipe-joining design and AGS products were used for ease of installation and to mitigate fire risk. This solution allowed the contractor to successfully meet the owner's schedule goals, delivering a reliable cooling system with a problem-free installation and no downtime.
