Understanding expectations \u2014 from what equipment looks like to how a project will be tackled \u2014 may differ from site to site, and from owner to contractor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t just bring in windows for a replacement project, you need an entire staging and storage area,\u201d says Chris Gonyo, assistant project manager at Kirchoff-Consigli. \u201cEquipment must move around from where it\u2019s housed, to where the work is actually being done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Logistical needs were drawn up months in advance and signed off by the university, including on-campus storage areas, office space locations, and owner\u2019s needs and expectations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe obtained documents early enough for the window replacement, that most were on site before we started the window removal work,\u201d says Chris. \u201cWe knew going into the project that it was going to be an extended or multiple shift job, so we had the same crews working on the building between five and six days a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges was setting up the Mast Climber, a hydro-mobile scaffolding system that ensconced all four sides of the building. The intricate preparation took one month, as the four climbers that were used (one on each side of the building) were inter-connected through the scaffolding structure. Since very few companies in the northeast supply the Mast Climber, all of the segments had to be ordered months in advance.<\/p>\n<p>While staging was taking place, students were studying for exams, and quiet hours limited work time. Students left campus for summer break soon after, and the teams went into full throttle. While no one was living in the building while work was taking place, the surrounding areas were inhabited not only by students and faculty, but also by people touring the campus.<\/p>\n<p>To stay on schedule, and plan for inclement weather, the team set an initial goal of removing 50 windows a day. Six floors of windows were removed at a time, and temporary protections from outside elements were put into place until the new windows were installed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCoordinating with the university where we would be, at what time, at what elevation, and for how long was challenging,\u201d says Chris. \u201cManaging the needs of the students, our needs, and everyone\u2019s safety on an active campus was a top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>By the Numbers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2,200 \u2013 Windows replaced<\/li>\n<li>22 \u2013 Number of floors<\/li>\n<li>205 \u2013 Building height in feet<\/li>\n<li>44,500 \u2013 Field man hours<\/li>\n<li>85 \u2013 Working days<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; Total SUNY Albany projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, to Eastman Towers, Kirchhoff-Consigli has completed the construction of the new business school at the (SUNY) Albany Campus, and work is progressing on Mohawk Towers, one of four towers on campus. Work will begin on the remaining two towers, Livingston and Stuyvesant in 2014-15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College campuses are in full swing, and\u00a0Kirchhoff-Consigli Construction Management&#8217;s\u00a0Summer Slammers have officially wrapped\u00a0up.Summer\u00a0Slammer\u00a0projects execute all aspects of a traditional undertaking, but are expedited over a 10-12 week span.
