Special projects are defined in a variety of ways:  uniqueness of the construction, aggressiveness of the schedule, the complexity of the trades involved, or the unusual nature of the project itself.
     One such project involved the conversion of two elementary schools in the city of Brockton.  This nearly $4 million project, required the conversion of  260,000 square feet of classroom and administrative space from an all-electric facility to a combination of heating and cooling equipment.  This renovation included gas-fired rooftop air handlers  with air conditioning, cast-iron hot water boilers with gas burners, indirect-fired domestic hot water tanks, and conversion coils for existing air handlers which were to remain.  The work was completed, working double shifts when necessary, to ensure that the school opened on time
