Infinity MEP+S Consultants provided mechanical and plumbing design, as well as electrical design review for the Valero McKee – Central Control Room. The 12,000 square foot facility included a 3,500 SF control room, office/ conference areas, data rack room, and battery storage rooms.

One significant project feature was for the entire facility design to withstand a 3 psi over pressure plant event. Blast dampers were utilized on all building exhausts and outdoor air intakes. High speed actuating lab valves were utilized in the entry vestibules to maintain the facilities positive pressure.

The design build team approach was vital to the project’s success in order to best reflect Valero’s legacy and success throughout the facility’s design.
