AEC was part of a Design/Build team to prepare construction documents and construction administration for six new Firestone Compete Auto Care stores in Grove City and Columbus, Ohio as well as Joliet, Montgomery, Oswego, and Road Lake Beach City in Illinois. AEC was responsible for providing engineering services for the new buildings’ plumbing, fire protection, HVAC, and electrical systems. The new 6,700 square foot, single-story prototypical buildings include vehicle service areas, a customer showroom, an office, a break room, restrooms, a cleaning area and an inventory room. Electrical work included normal power services, power distribution, lighting, and fire alarm systems. Mechanical and Plumbing design work included HVAC, fire protection, plumbing, temperature control, compressed air systems, an emerge eye wash station, and an exterior oil/sediment interceptor. The new stores also include 10, environmentally-friendly, in-ground Smartlift® vehicle lift stations. AEC provided electrical and mechanical engineering services for the lifts’ electrical, air / oil supply, and control systems.
