Denver Union Station at 17th and Wynkoop Streets is the central transportation hub for the RTD bus system, light rail serving the metro area, Greyhound and other national bus services, and the Amtrak and commuter rail systems. Restoration of the historic train station, first opened in 1881, was part of a $500 million masterplan with $300 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation. At the time, it was the nation’s largest public transportation projct. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill was chosen to design the public spaces, and Legacy Mechanical was selected to provide mechanical services, including those serving the 22-gate underground bus station.

In profiling the project, The Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) wrote: To meet the complex requirements of a massive public transit expansion, Legacy Mechanical, Inc. called on Victaulic. “We’ve worked with Victaulic grooved mechanical systems for nearly a decade, so we know we can trust them to help us maximize productivity and address compressed work schedules, while increasing worker safety,” said Scott Krum, president of Legacy Mechanical. “We also know we can count on them for expert prefabrication and minimizing time in the field.”
