Kaiser Oakland Medical
A number of Huntair air handling units were proposed for installation at the new Kaiser Oakland Medical Center. Unfortunately, some of these new units fell outside the scope of the OSHPD OSP preapproval of the Huntair units.
Tobolski Watkins provided consulting services on this project to ensure systems comply with the provisions of the CBC. This included development and integration of a structural frame system within air handling units for stacked systems. Design required consideration of not only traditional strength design, but also explicit consideration of the transmission of dynamic loading through the lower units.
Modular vestibule systems were also designed to house various piping and electrical systems. This included development of seismic gap details between adjacent structures.
