Project Overview
This project involved the remodel of 8 restroom groups across the Broadcom campus in Fort Collins, CO. The scope included complete demolition and replacement of all piping and fixtures to modernize the facilities and ensure long-term reliability.
Scope of Work
- Demolition:
- Demolished all existing piping and fixtures across 8 restroom groups throughout the campus.
- Cleared each restroom group in stages to prepare for full system replacement.
- Piping Replacement:
- Installed all new water supply and drainage piping to support the remodeled restrooms.
- Ensured new piping met current code requirements and integrated properly with the building's existing infrastructure.
- Fixture Installation:
- Installed new commercial-grade fixtures, including toilets, sinks, and faucets, across all 8 restroom groups.
- Selected durable, low-maintenance fixtures suited for a high-traffic corporate campus environment.
Challenges and Solutions
- Challenge: Performing a full-scale remodel within a live, operational building.
Solution: Carefully sequenced work across the 8 restroom groups to keep other facilities accessible and minimize disruption to daily campus operations. - Challenge: Locating and shutting down water lines without disrupting the rest of the building's systems.
Solution: Conducted thorough infrastructure assessments before each shutdown to isolate only the necessary lines. - Challenge: Working under strict safety protocols and within secure, access-controlled areas of the campus.
Solution: Coordinated closely with Broadcom's security and safety teams to ensure all work complied with facility requirements while maintaining project momentum. - Challenge: Meeting project deadlines despite the added complexity of a live-building, multi-restroom remodel.
Solution: Maintained a structured, phased schedule across all 8 restroom groups to keep the project on track for timely completion.
Results
The completed remodel delivered 8 fully renovated restroom groups across the Broadcom campus, each featuring entirely new piping and fixtures. The upgraded facilities provide improved reliability and functionality while meeting the strict safety and security standards required for the live corporate environment.
