Radisson Hotel + Water Park of America

The Radisson Hotel Bloomington is an eight-story, 400+ room hotel with an attached water park located a half-mile from the Mall of America.

Harris was contracted to provide the plumbing and HVAC services for the new hotel construction and was later awarded the mechanical scope for the water park as well. The HVAC and plumbing systems were installed floor-by-floor, starting on the ground floor. Due to the size of this job, over 5,000 sleeved penetrations were made through the poured concrete floors for plumbing and HVAC.

For the first time, a large portion of the plumbing for the project was manufactured in-house. Over 12,000 feet of pipe was cut and installed on-site, and 2,000 square feet of snowmelt was also installed under the entrance of the underground parking garage. Since the entrance is on a slope, this helped to avoid accidents throughout the winter and provided safe entrance for drivers.

HVAC piping and sanitary plumbing was provided for the water park, including piping for the public showers, drainage systems for the pool, and the heating and heat recovery system for the pools and water park space. Both the hotel and water park were completed ahead of schedule.
