All equipment was connected to the existing building management system via BACNET communications network. Related design work included electrical for the HVAC equipment with new panelboards, and structural for new steel dunnage for the new rooftop HVAC equipment.

New Brunswick City – Buccleuch Park Facility Renovations

CP was engaged by the City of New Brunswick to prepare construction documents to rehabilitate three structures at Buccleuch Park: the public restroom facility, a gazebo, and a 6,600 square foot open-air pavilion. A forensic investigation of the three structures was performed consisting of a thorough examination of the buildings in order to determine the cause of many problematic issues, as well as to assess their current condition and any potential hazards. Detailed, existing conditions drawings were developed of all three structures followed by construction drawings to be used as a repair guide for bringing the structures back up to good physical condition and proper working order as well as Code and barrier free compliance.
