A recent accomplishment is Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems’ collaboration with Autumn Construction Services in their remarkable endeavor at Chicago O’Hare International Airport. They are thrilled to share how its products were instrumental in Autumn Construction Services’ successful completion of the “ORD Terminal 5 Miscellaneous Mechanical Upgrades” project for Austin Power Partners.
Central to the success of the mechanical upgrades were “Apollo” Valves’ cutting-edge products. In a project of this scale, where the replacement of existing components was paramount, our top-notch Variable Air Volume (VAV) boxes, piping systems, and temperature control valves played a crucial role.
Autumn Construction Services tackled the project head-on by replacing over 350 existing VAV boxes alongside piping and controls. The intricacy of this task demanded products that combine reliability, efficiency, and adaptability. Our VAV boxes proved to be the perfect fit, ensuring optimal airflow control and temperature regulation for diverse spaces within the terminal.
But that’s not all. The task at hand extended further to the replacement of temperature control valves and piping trim. In addition to replacing VAV boxes, Autumn Construction Services replaced existing gate valves with “Apollo” Valves on the new VAV boxes, 145 cabinet/unit heaters, 65 four-pipe fancoils and 30 inline booster pumps. In total over 2,100 “Apollo” Valves were installed on this project. The “Apollo” Valves products exhibited their versatility by seamlessly integrating with a variety of equipment, optimizing performance, and ensuring passengers and operational staff enjoy the best in comfort and efficiency.
The collaboration between Autumn Construction Services and “Apollo” Valves exemplifies the power of synergy in realizing a vision. The ORD Terminal 5 project was not just about replacing components—it was about elevating the airport experience for millions of travelers. The successful execution of the project, completed in January 2023, is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and exceptional products brought to the table.
As ORD 21 Terminal 5 Expansion and Modernization program continues to reshape Chicago O’Hare International Airport, we stand proud of our contribution. Aalberts Integrated Piping Systems remains committed to innovating products that shape a better future for infrastructure, transportation, and countless other industries.
