Experience

Corrigan Company’s Design/Build approach to mechanical contracting means single source responsibility throughout all elements of project development from conceptual design through construction completion.  Our customers rely on us to implement cost-effective plumbing and mechanical systems.  We are experienced in both LEAN and LEED Principles and our team of experts provides optimal solutions for your overall project success.

CARDINAL GLENNON/CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL: Corrigan Company’s task was to design a 60 bed neo-natal intensive care unit according to specification.  Using the LEAN approach, we decided it would be more cost effective to build a prototype based from the original plans submitted to us.  With our customer on board, the complete and full-sized prototype was built in our shop.  We invited various doctors and nurses to come and critique the finished product.  The observations proved to be very important, as numerous changes were made from the original plans.  As a result, we redesigned the original plans and built 60 units that were perfect for the needs of not only the doctors and nurses, but also the customer who didn’t exceed their budget with change orders to fix the original and incorrect plans.

ALBERICI CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS: Corrigan Company and Alberici have been partners on many projects over the years.  When Alberici decided to build their new Class-A LEED Headquarters, they chose us for their Design/Build needs.  Green Buildings are the newest trend and we were eager to expand our expertise to “greener” pastures.  Our commitment to this project was toward renewable energy.  We designed and installed high efficiency chilled water and hot water systems throughout the building.  Solar heating was incorporated for domestic hot water.  The HVAC system used a mix of under floor air distribution and natural ventilation through operable windows.  A catchment system was designed to collect rainwater from 60% of the garage roof area.  That rainwater was stored in a 38,000 gallon cistern, treated and used for sewerage conveyance, saving nearly 150,000 gallons of water per year.  These were just a few of the many notable aspects about this project, making it a model of sustainable design and construction.  Alberici Corporate Headquarters was added to the list of the nation’s “greenest” buildings and was awarded LEED Platinum certification, which is the highest level awarded by the USGBC.

ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY CHAIFETZ ARENA:  was designed as an on-campus multi-purpose facility that is home to SLU men’s and woman’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams as well as a venue to host concerts, shows, trade shows and commencements.  Corrigan’s conceptual design of the complex incuded the main arena (which seats 10,600 in a single concourse), 14 suites, two party suites, a large club for dinners and parties, two-court basketball-volleyball practice facilities, a three-story office and support building for the athletic department and a full service kitchen.  We designed and installed the chilled water system and the central station air handling units.  St. Louis University has been a long-time customer of ours, and we were proud to take part in constructing their new arena.
