Aurora, CO
2018
Amazon is recognized as “one of the most influential economic and cultural forces in the world” and one of its most valuable brands. In 2018, it opened its second fulfillment center in Colorado—a facility spanning more than one million square feet, employing more than 1000 people, and using robotic technology to meet its order-delivery demands. Legacy Mechanical was Amazon’s HVAC contractor of choice. Meeting this mega challenge called for some unusual design and installation strategies, including the helicopter-assisted placement of more than 80 roof-top HVAC units.
The entire operation—lift-off to touch-down—was completed in just four hours.
“Fast. Safe. Successful. Delivering on all three metrics for a client takes more than a little ingenuity, a good amount of experience and people who take teamwork seriously. All that came together when LMI was needed for a major rooftop installation at Amazon’s Aurora facility. Let’s hear it for helicopters and hard work.”
