With International Paper growing at a rapid pace, it was imperative that they expand their corporate headquarters located in Memphis, TN. IP expanded their HQ with a 10 story, 252,000 square foot office building that was designed with a water-based system consisting of a 2-Cell 30,000 lbs cooling tower on the roof with 6″/8″ pipe running from the 1st floor up through the penthouse.
ASC Equipment provided seismic engineering, isolation and restraints for a floating 6″/8″ riser system, 30,000 lbs Cooling Tower, 15,000 lbs chiller, ductwork and piping.
