IFS Provides Emergency AC Relief to Flooded 10-story Courhouse

When a water main break sent more than six feet of water into the subbasement of the Mel Carnahan Courthouse in Downtown St. Louis early in the morning of Saturday, July 6, mechanical contractor Integrated Facility Services (IFS) mobilized to quickly get emergency air conditioning to the 10-story building to avoid disruption of the upcoming work week. A team of six IFS technicians coordinated delivery and installation of piping and two, 400-ton chillers to temporarily replace the two, 600-ton chillers and pumps that were damaged in the flood. Located at 1114 Market Street, the building houses St. Louis circuit courtrooms and offices of the circuit attorney, public defender and sheriff.
