Client Overview
Thermal Concepts collaborated with the Turner Guilford Knight (TGK) Correctional Center in Miami, Florida, to execute a comprehensive HVAC retrofit project aimed at enhancing the facility’s environmental control systems.
Scope of Work
The retrofit project focused on upgrading the existing HVAC infrastructure within the correctional facility. This included the replacement of outdated air handling units, chillers, and associated components to improve system efficiency and reliability. The project also encompassed the installation of new ductwork and ventilation systems to ensure optimal air quality and temperature control throughout the facility.
Facility Modernization Support
This retrofit was part of broader efforts by Miami-Dade Corrections to modernize its infrastructure and improve facility conditions. Thermal Concepts supported this mission by updating critical HVAC systems to meet today’s performance and efficiency standards.
Design with Security & Stability in Mind
Working in a secure correctional environment requires precision and coordination. Thermal Concepts implemented systems that not only enhanced comfort but also aligned with the strict operational protocols of a 24/7 detention facility.
